4 miles -- that felt like who knows how many.
Spent the last few days at Wolfcreek with the family. So strange how driving up the canyon in Ogden brings back all the butterflies and anticipation of running a marathon. Anyway ... decided to run up the canyon from our timeshare then turn around and run down. Was going to run up 3 miles but it started getting dark and I was nervous about being up there alone (nice excuse ... the uphill and very small headwind was kicking my trash) so turned around at the 2 mile point.
My pace was super slow going up ... I was frustrated about that but once I downloaded the info on my laptop I can see why ... I gained a little over 700 feet in those two miles. Unfortunately, coming down was worse. The wind was now at my back pushing me and it was far too steep - I never felt like I had control or could run relaxed. Every stride sent a pain up my silly leg -- making me so stinkin' mad. I really stink at running downhill.
Anyway ... made it back in one piece. :) |
