I headed out towards mini GU corner but when I hit my 2 mile mark I stopped and stretched and Pat Loss and the boys were running by and I asked him if he had seen my Brother Curtis but he hadn't. So I headed up over Harry's Hill and then down to the stake center and Pat hooked me up with some fluid and invited me to run with them out to Osborne's (GU Corner) so I did and we started to push the pace towards the end, well the pace was hard for me but they weren't even breathing hard, and then we hit GU corner and there was my brother. I hooked up with him around the Golf Course and then back to GU corner and then I fueled up again and headed for home. My IT Band held up really good, especially for running up Harry's Hill and then the downward route to the stake center, there was some uphill around the golf course as well and by the time I hit home I was feeling it! My legs held up better than I thought they would but I am very tried as I write this, I had to go to a Baptism so I am alittle late getting my entry in... My Garmin ran out of battery at mile 4.50 so with the help of everyone else's watches and my mile markers I was able to compute the distance, I will test it in my truck just to make sure a little later, so I don't have any info. I really didn't push the downhill at all and mostly tried to take it easy, I'm still not to confident with the old knee and I want to bring it along slow. I think I would have done better had I not ran Harry's and then pushed the pace with Pat and the boys, but it was a good workout and that is what counts.
See ya on Monday.
PM-After using my truck to measure my distance from where my Garmin lost it's battery power I actually ran 18.2 miles, know wonder my legs were so freaking tired! That was alittle more than I should have run today, oh well it worked out! No major injuries just real tired legs, but the good kind of tired legs;-) |
