I met Wendy at the Potato Hill trail head. We headed south this time and I enjoyed learning a new section of the trail. That section of the trail was in alright condition, but still a slow go. This was my first time running with Wendy and we had a great conversation. I really liked hearing about her Wasatch 100 experience. I hope I wasn't too slow!
I dropped her off at the car at 7 miles. I refilled my water, took a GU, and headed onto the trail that I usually go on. Oh my...it was SO icy and when it wasn't icy, it was muddy. I was feeling a bit frustrated because it was taking forever. But I know any time on my feet is a good thing. But I could have run a marathon in the amount of time I was out there!!!!
These long runs are such a reality check for this 50 miler. Man....that is a long way to go! But after talking with Wendy about her training (she didn't have high miles either), I think I will be able to finish.
