Met Cal, RAD, Annette and a new runner friend at 12600 south 3500 west for a b-kicking run.  We ran 8.5 miles up to a canyon out in the middle of nowhere.  The first three miles of the run my legs were already fried and tired.  I wasn't sure if it would be best to just go back to bed or keep running. After about five miles my legs were finally getting used to the uphill climb.  I about died when Cal told me we had another half mile after we hit 8.  

We spooked a few deer as we made our way up the canyon.  It as a beautiful run and it was fun to run somewhere I did not even know existed.  I don't even remember the name of the canyon.  Thank you to the fellow runners that made this journey possible.  I can honestly say that the past three weeks of long runs were made possible by the people I have been running with.  Thank you so much for the support and waiting for me when I have been late to the early mornings.  

My knees have been KILLING!!!!  This is very unusual for me because I have never had knee issues.  I went to SLC Running Co. and they told me I have been training in racing shoes.  I purchased the old shoes (New Balance 1064) and I will start training in those.  I hope that the shoes are the problem.... :(   At the marathon I do want to run in my racers though.  I will take any suggestions about this problem if you would like to leave your feedback.  

Congrats to all of those ran TOU yesterday.  It's been really fun reading race reports.

Becca, you did an amazing job hitting those hills hard and fast! I'm sorry about those knees, but we're in taper so take care of them and you'll be ready to RACE in those racers in less than two weeks :)

I'm so glad you were able to join us, I always have a good time with you!

Becca, take good care of those knees! I would ice them down each night between now and the marathon, even if they feel good that day.

Nice running Saturday. You're going to tear up those downhills at St. George!

RAD,

Thanks for the ongoing motivation you continue to give me. I want to run in those shoes. Blasted things.

Cal,

Thank you for the advice. I have been icing and I will continue to ice them everyday.
