Well I finally made it back to a 50 mile week! This is my first since September 14-20 last year, 10 freakin months! It has been a long slow road to recovery and I am not 100% even now, but there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel and I am getting closer every week. I just hope I can get going and salvage at least a decent race at St. George this year. I had Aubree and Schiffman tag along this morning. Aubree needed 9 for her first ever 50 mile week and I needed a bit more. We ran 10 miles together from the park across from Smiths up to the mouth of Butterfield Canyon. I didn't realize that it was all uphill to the canyon, so it was an up and down run. I liked to road, quiet, a few farms, a lot of cyclists, kind of reminded me of the runs I had done with Jon, Cody and Logan out by Clarkston in Cache Valley two years ago. I added on another 1.5 miles at the end up Juniper Crest hill and down to give me 50 miles. I am tired but excited to finally be running some decent miles again. Hopefully I can get some speedwork in and some long runs. I need to find some 20 mile buddies in the next month or sooner.
