Started at the top of Emigration Canyon with uphill for 1.5 then downhill the rest of the way. Stopped at a porta potty and had to catch up, by then I was starting to get tired. I caught up just as we were exiting the canyon. Down sunnyside to the track where we finished. We were bombing 6:40s going down the canyon and averaged 7:10 pace. I'm surprised too because along sunnyside where it flattened out I was dead and we still went 7:13 and 7:00 for the last two miles. The downhill beat me up, my inner thighs are so sore. Right after the run we did our XC fundraiser raking leaves for people (that lasted 3.5 hours) and man am I exhausted. And that lovely blister I got a couple days ago decided to bleed on my sock and new shoe. At least I didn't notice it until we finished the run. Time to take a nap.
