Got out early this morning in the dark Left the house at 6am and 40 degrees. Ran out past Desert Hills High to River Road through the industrial Park to the Arizona Strip to SunRiver to home. When I got home it was 37 degrees. At spots on the run it had to have dropped to low 30's out in the open desert. Ran very easy not wanting to pound anything hard, just wanted a good enjoyable run. I tried Vespa for the run. No breakfast, went on an empty stomach and the vespa drink to start. Took a 2nd surge energy gel at the 7 mile mark. My energy level stayed pretty good throughout the run. When I took the 2nd Surge I could feel it kick in and carried me real good for 4 miles plus. For Snow Canyon I need to remember to take it around mile 9. Slow run with all the climbing....8:48 average pace. I hit the 2000 mile mark for the year!
