15 miles avg 7:06 pace with Melanie, Kim and Jane up Provo Canyon. We made it almost to Bridal Veil before the trail had snow. Not wanting to carry the gatorade we left at mile 4 and the jackets we dropped at mile 2 for so many miles we decided to run down the canyon and back up again to get the distance we wanted. It was so cold that we all had difficulty talking because our mouths felt like we'd been to the dentist. On our way up the canyon for the second time I thought it was a good thing I had friends to run with or there would be no point to this run. So I guess the point must be to have fun but at that point I was having some doubts about the "fun" lasting for 15 miles. I think we turned a corner with my son's recovery. My husband got up to give him medicine in the night last night, so I slept a little better. Still woke up, but didn't have to get up. Later this morning was the first time his medication wore off and he wasn't immediately asking for more. Yea! I think we may not have to get up tonight! |
