I went into Brigham City this afternoon and did a big loop around the east side of the city and the golf course. There are a lot of rollers on the east side so I got very good workout in. The achilles was very slow in warming up today but I felt good, except for the steep uphill portions. It was one of those days where I was running surprisingly faster than I felt like I was. Other than my first mile which was well over 8 minutes, every mile, all uphill or not, was 7 minute pace or better. Infact, 7 of those miles were under 6:45, not bad for that course, and my last mile was 6:00. I had a hard time with the wind and cold in regulating body temperature. If I was running into the wind I was cold. If I was running with the wind I was too warm. It was some hard weather for my body to adjust to. I feel great now that I am icing the old achilles and have downed a couple mugs of hot chocolate. I am glad I went on this run today it was a confidence booster for me. 1:09:29
(Omni- 252 miles)
