6.5 miles, AP 8:39, with Ry. Up towards Jaynie's and back.

Was planning on another 3.5 miles in the evening but just didn't have it in me.

11 miles, AP 8:03, by my lonesome.

It is so much nicer when Smo, Ry or Rachel join me for at least part of the run. My legs were feeling a bit tired. First 5.5 easy and then 5.5 at marathon pace.

Although I LOVE LOVE LOVE St. George, I do miss having so many people to run with.

This was one of my tougher runs. I think mentally more than anything. Even though I have made some friends here in St. George, I haven't really found that core of crazies that I completely connect with: Shout out to JohnnyV (the person I probably have done more long runs with than anyone else), the Lintons, Christine 'n Ben, and of course, the one and only Smooth! Would at least one of you consider moving to St. George!!!!???

I'm sure there are plenty of crazies out here, and I absolutely love Rachel, and probably more than anything it's my fault for not really putting myself out there and attending the SG Running Group stuff ... just saying that I miss my crazies. :-)

Anyway, I thought a new beautiful course would make the lonesome miles a little less lonesome. My belief was that if I started in Hurricane (at my work) and ran through Sand Hollow and the Washington Fields that I'd not only have beauty but a nice gradual downhill. Not sure where I went wrong because other than a handful of miles it definitely did not feel as easy as I was hoping. When I entered it in Map My Run it said a total net down of roughly 600 feet. Which I suppose doesn't feel as down as I had hoped over 20 miles. :-)

Things got really tough for me around mile 13. I stopped and called Ry. He saved me by bringing my Smo to run the final 4 miles with me. Miles 13-16 all I could think was: "25 minutes and Smo will make everything better ..." "19 more minutes until Smo..." "15 more minutes and Smo will change everything..." 9 more minutes..." "Start looking for Smo..." "Smo will fix all of this." When I saw Smo I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. I was so GRATEFUL!!

Anyway, another 20 in the books. :-)

Hope everyone is off to a GREAT weekend!!!
