I ran with the Spanish Fork boys and girls From the Black hawk Camp Ground which is at the top of Payson canyon and then I ran back to my house. I was really nervous about this run, not from the stand point of the mileage just the extensive downhill along with the mileage, was my main concern but my legs handled it really well. This tells me that I'm on the right track and I just need to stay consistent these last 4 or 5 weeks, I want to get in a few more downhill runs and a few more uphill runs as well. I had 7 MP miles on mostly the downhill but i didn't push the downhill at all I just let the hill do the work and I did that just because I didn't want to over do it. Those miles went like this: 7:58, 7:59, 7:53, 8:00, 7:46, 7:47, 7:53, my average pace for the run was 8:19 with a total time of 2:52:34. This was a big confidence boast and I am glad that I was able to do it, it gave a nice evaluation of where I am at.
See y Monday
