I needed a long run today so I went out on my own to get it done. The weather was good at first with a few sprinkles here and there. I ran by the hospital and Temple, up around Lone Peak high, and into Alpine. I got a drink at the park and used the bathroom then headed up the road to Sliding Rock through all of the huge houses. I turned around when the pavement ended at 10 miles, then started to head back. I grabbed another drink at the park and headed toward the canyon. When I got close to AF canyon it started to rain and hail. I went up the big hill going into Cedar Hills and got some relief for a mile or so. I grabbed another drink at the Cedar Hills park, and the weather got worse as I headed for PG and AF. It started to hail pretty hard and there was no where to take shelter so I just kept going. The rain and hail pelted me for a couple of miles and I was glad to get within a mile of home, so I pushed out a good last mile so I could finish up. I actually had a pretty good run other than the last 5 miles because of the weather, although it did seem like it took a lot longer than the time it took me. 2:25:14 for the run.
(2130- 210.5 miles)
