I had a hard time talking myself into my run today, because I still feel kind of crappy and weak, and I would be all alone. I started in Brigham City and ran up Sardine Canyon on the highway. The shoulder was big enough that I didn't have too much trouble with traffic. I'll tell you, that is one heck of a climb for that 8 miles to the summit when you are running into a headwind! About a half mile before I hit the summit (Box Elder and Cache County lines) the wind switched, not what I was looking forward to. I was pretty hammered when I turned around, but sucked a GU down and knew that most of the next 8 miles was pretty good downhill. I averaged about 8:45 per mile going up. On the way down I wanted to hit some marathon pace miles and I did. I had 6 miles between 5:40 and 5:50 and a couple others around 6:00 minute pace. By the time I got down to Brigham I was at 16 miles and had about had it, but I struggled home anyways for the last 4 miles. Once again I was going uphill into the wind, but managed a 7:15 average home. I averaged 7:29 pace for the whole run, that is what happens when you run 9:00s up and 6:00s down. I was so glad to be done! That was by far my toughest run of the year, for how I felt. 2:29:45 for the run, and a headwind for about 19+ miles.
After I finally recovered enough to eat and shower, I got a sweet 2 hour + nap that really helped me out. I probably over did it today, but I felt I needed that run, for my confidence if nothing else.
