Time: 1:53:34 (AP 9:30) 9:55, 9:59, 9:46, 9:46, 9:44, 9:53, 9:23, 9:27, 9:16, 9:27, 9:17, 7:35 This was one of the best runs I've had in a long time! I met Rachel, Smooth, and Karen at the Draper City Park for a 12 mile run. Last time I ran this trail, I had a horrible run. It was windy and I felt like crud. Not today, the sun was shining and I felt much stronger. I knew that it was an up and down course. I was able to hold a conversation the whole way, so I wasn't running that hard. At mile 11, Smooth yelled "let's finish strong", so I took off. I thought everyone was coming right behind me and when I realized they weren't I kept going (I was probably breaking some sort of "running with a group" rule). I was surprised how much speed I had left and how good I felt.
I feel so much better about running the UVHM next weekend.
I learned so much about running from those sweet ladies....I was lucky to spend the early morning with them! Thanks gals! Still waiting to see how my lower leg feels.
