Ouch! I'm going to feel that tomorrow. I wanted to accomplish a couple of things this morning. Find out what my downhill, with a tailwind pace should be for next weekend, and beat my legs up a little bit with time to recover. I definately accomplished the beat my legs up part. Not sure I know what pace I can run downhill for 13 miles though. 4 miles at that pace about killed me. I would like to go out at 5:30 - 5:45 just to give myself a chance for a 1:15 if I'm feeling good but really I'm thinking I'll be pretty lucky to be 1:18. Started from my work and ran up Big Cottonwood canyon 5 miles, took it kind of easy going up, partially on purpose, partially cause it was really hard, turned around at 5 and pounded back down. The top had some very steep sections where I hit sub 5:00 pace a couple of times but I felt really un-stable and thought I was going to fall on my face so I had to slow down a bit. I've decided I'm 10 - 15 lbs top heavy, my legs could handle the pressure much easier if I was about 15 lbs lighter I'm sure. Good workout, I might go for a bike ride tomorrow instead of run. We''ll see how I feel later tonight. | Distance | Time | Avg Pace
