Went with Misty to my favorite course for a long run to mimick the St. George marathon course. It starts at the Capitol and you run the horseshoe to 11th ave then East to Shriners Hospital and then back to City Creek canyon and up to the top then back down to the Capitol. I ran alone and by the time I hit the canyon the sun was up so I made my way up it and there wasnt anyone up there which was odd because there are usually tons of runners and bikers up it on Saturday early. Going up was 2000' incline and I was averaging about an 8:15 pace. Coming down I hit my last 7 miles in: 6:15, 5:40, 5:52, 5:55, 5:44, 5:43, and 5:23. It was colder up the canyon which I love so I didnt feel any fade like I do with the heat.

Nice long run! I'm really sad I can't run in this cooler weather, it's perfect!

There will be plenty of cold weather coming Carina, don't you fret the small stuff. So Misty told me you are planning SGM? Did your time qualify you for the elite tables?

From Carina on Sun, Sep 04, 2011 at 23:39:49 from 204.15.86.83

Yeah, but now I feel dumb running as an elite. I'm afraid that I can't run the time I wanted to with taking all this time off (well cross training)!

Think of it as an early taper. You have busted out so many marathons that the rest will help. Once you get the ok then just concentrate On some tempo runs to sting the legs and help keep muscle memory.

From Carina on Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 00:42:36 from 204.15.86.83

Well I hope I can get at least one more long run in. I will definitely do some tempo work if/when i get the ok!! I just really miss running!!!!

I hear you there. Whenever I'm injured or out and see runners go down the street It makes me want to run them over. Lol not that I would. At least I don't think I would.

From Carina on Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 12:28:35 from 204.15.86.83

I thought I was going crazy on Saturday when every time I saw someone running I got angry! Glad I'm not the only one :)

From Walter on Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 12:49:58 from 70.198.100.170

Just keep rocks and all throwable objects away from Carina at this time.

From Carina on Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 14:06:14 from 174.253.182.27

Lol!! I'm not going to hurt anyone! Maybe just cry.

From Walter on Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 14:45:46 from 70.198.100.170

you need a punching bag my friend!

From Carina on Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 17:18:00 from 174.253.182.27

Yes, yes I do!!

From Walter on Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 17:57:17 from 70.198.100.170

Let me know when to come over, I could use a good butt kicking! Lol
