12 miles avg 7:03 pace. I met Melanie, Kim, Jane, Julie C, Marie, Desiree and Rebecca at the mouth of Provo Canyon. We ran up the canyon 6 miles at an average 7:12 pace. This felt fast to me. We got all spread out along the way and Marie, Desiree and Rebecca turned around after 5. I'm not sure why we were running so fast, but it felt good to push myself. The way down felt a little easier in the 6:50's pace. We stayed together more coming back and had a conversation. It was fun to run with Melanie, Kim, Jane and Julie again. I hadn't seen them since the marathon.
I felt like I accomplished my goal for the week which was to end the week in better shape than I started. For the first time in almost 2 months I feel like I didn't lose conditioning. With the exception of the chocolate cake and cookies I ate at a party on Friday night, I ate better too. |
