While every other runner in Utah was racing at Desert News, I was busy slogging out a long-ish run on the river trail, trying to get my sorry butt in race shape. My plan was to do twelve, but my calves were sore from yesterday's workout, so I cut to ten. There's probably not much difference on my calves between ten or twelve, so basically I was being a little bit lazy.
I ran an out and back from my house out to 4100 S on the trail. (or wherever the trail crosses the road.) 34:45 out, and then I tried to push hard back. My total time was 1:07:19, so I ran 32:34 for the five miles back. I'm definitely used to nine or ten mile runs now, so I have got to start stepping up. 12 miles for sure next week. |
