I wanted to do a longer run this Saturday than I did last week (8) so my goal was 10 miles and I was able to accomplish that, I ran the Salem canal road to the Spanish Fork riverbottoms loop. I had some bowel problems towards the end but I was able to get to the ball diamonds on canal rd in Salem and take care of that issue, thanks to the Salem Rec for keeping the bathrooms open, it was a blessing... Well enough of that lets move on to the run, my average pace was 8:51 and my heart rate average was 144 with a total time of 1:28:44 not real fast but it was more about the distance today rather than the speed of each split. I felt pretty strong for most of the run until I started to have the bowel issues and it really hampered my rythum, my leg held up pretty good although I didn't push the pace so that is propably why.
I was able to see all the Spanish Fork group out today, they are always good for a wave and a thumbs up to keep me motivated and on the right track. I would like to get my speed back but it is coming back slowly, somedays I feel I am close but then somedays I feel like I am a ways away from where I would like to be, but so goes the life of a runner...
See ya on Monday.
