This was an amazing run today! I was suppose to go with Kellie and Mandy up Provo Canyon, but they both bailed. So I ended up going by myself. It was windy as always at the mouth of the canyon, but lessened the further I went.
I took a Gu at mile 5 and turned around. Right then, a group of 3 went by. I knew I wanted a hard push the way back and tried to catch them. I soon realized they were doing a speed workout. So I would catch them and run with them for awhile and they would take off and I would try to catch them again.
The last 2 miles, my lungs were hurting a bit...my lack of fitness. I was excited that I pushed myself to that point and that I could average an 8MM on the way down. Its getting easier and I'm getting a lot faster. I still have a long ways to go, but I definately could not run this fast 6 months ago.
I saw lots of people I knew out on the trail this morning...always good to see friends! I was also way over dressed.
When I got home, I changed my clothes and headed to the home gym.
