I didn't originally plan on going this long but just felt like it was a good number that morning. well really i wanted to get one 22 mi in before the hurrican marathon, and today was the day (races for the next 3 weeks).
Ran with liz, aimee, mandi, and cheri, today (well sort of) - started with them, but knew i had a time limit today so had to pick it up. i ran the 1st 5 miles with aimee, which included the la verkin twist. i was feeling kind of poopy, but once i hit that trail i got reenergized (i love trails!!!) I easily picked it up going up the hill, and then waited for the girls. after the first water stop, i took off, as they were only doing 15 that day. i want to do this run again, so i'm posting my miles. i ran on the trail which was a lot of up and down all the way to virgin, and then turned down sheepsbridge rd. i had to add 2 more miles at la verkin overlook.
6: 7:29
7: 7:46 (next 7 uphill into virgin, then uphill on sheepsbridge)
8: 7:48
9:7:48
10 7:53
11 7:13
12 7:11
13 7:46
14 7:48
15 - 8:08
16 - 7:57
17 - 7:30
18- 7:17
19 - 7:08
20 - 6:37
21 -7:06 (last 2 miles were very uphill, but i pushed it all the way in)
22 -7:27
I was tired by the end, but could've kept going today - does that mean i'm not pushing enough??? I'm sure it's just the trail running that i love!!I need to have someone speedy come with me and do it again. My hamstring got tight, but all in all a great run:)
7:42 average - 2:49 - 22 miles |
