18 miles with Melanie down Provo Canyon on the highway. My husband dropped us off at the Wallsburg turnoff. We ran 2 miles into Wallsburg then turned around and ran down the Canyon. We stayed on the highway until Canyon Glen then got on the trail to the Riverwoods.
I felt a lot better than last week and our pace was much faster, avg 6:43. I guess that's what 20 degrees warmer and the wind at our backs will do. Last week it was 25 degrees in Orem when we started, colder up the canyon, and didn't warm up at all. This week it was 45 degrees in Orem when we started and warmed up quite a bit.
Melanie wasn't feeling as good as me towards the end. At about mile 15.5 she said, "I feel like I'm doing a death march." I looked at my watch and said, "Well at least you're death marching a 6:30 pace." We slowed down to 6:40's the last few, still a good pace. |
