When I awoke this morning my body was telling me to go back to bed and as I started running I told myself that 5 or 6 miles seemed to be the ticket for the day, but as I got 2.5 miles into the run my body said you are going 10 miles today and no less... Now my mind was still saying I don't think so, but then before I knew it I was down in the Riverbottoms and hitting my 5 mile turn around point. At this point I took some gu and realized that I had no water and no gatorade. I then thought, well I have my IPhone with me just give my lovely wife a call but then I looked at the time and new that was a no, no. So I kepted running just taking it easy and I felt really good for the most part, I then passed the cooler for the spanish fork group and I just about stole some gatorade, but I didn't feel wright about it so I just motored on. As I got further on I thought, sorry Honey I have to call, and she was good about it as she always is. After getting another Gu and some Gatorade I headed for a few more and ended up doing 12 miles, not real fast but it was more about distance today than speed... My average pace was 9:11 with my heart rate average at 140 total time was 1:50:43, I had alittle strength towards the end on miles 10 and 11 I speed up to an 8:42 and 8:32 mile which was good to see that I had that extra at the end, that means I am on the right track... I did a 1.5 mile cool down, Pretty good run all around.
