Run Maynard, Run!

11.25 miles / 1:40:28 / 8:56 pace / Jordan River Parkway, Lehi

Ran with Smooth, RAD, LuzyLew, and started and was passed (a couple of times) by Chad

Despite the snow I didn't struggle to get out of bed.  I love running in the snow!  Yes, it kind of rankles me that it's snowing in April, but consider the locale...  And I've ran in 4 to 6 inches of the fresh stuff in early June, so it's really not that late.  At the turn around the snowflakes were HUGE! Loved it!  Felt pretty good throughout--particularly the first 9 miles. 

I must be getting old because the rest of the day my hip joints ached--even Excedrin didn't seem to work.  This morning I'm fine though.  :|  Mostly.  My nose is running something fierce, I'm all congested, and I've got a slightly scratchy throat.

8.4 miles / 1:30:57 / 10:51 pace / Logan with my Hay

My two youngest spent the weekend in Logan with their sister and I had the assignment of picking them up this morning.  Went up last night instead and we had some good quality family time playing card games and stuff.  The plan was to get up early and go for a run with Hay.  Ended up sleeping in a bit but we still ran--I just got home later than anticipated.  Oh well.

We ran portions of the last few miles of the TOU course.  It's funny how you miss things while you're racing, or how streets look completely different without a string of runners and cones and aid stations along it.

6.1 miles / 0:53:50.02 / 8:48 pace / Provo River Trail

After work I made a quick and enjoyable run up Provo Canyon along the Provo River Trail.  Followed a ponytail about a half mile on the way back down and then she followed me.  :|

3 miles / 0:26:04 / 8:42 pace / American Fork River Trail

Planned on 4 or 5 but 1.5 miles out the wind whipped up and sent me running back to the car for cover.  It was nasty.   Splits were 9:10, 9:05, and 7:48.

Holy Crap!  Has it really been that long?

8.0 miles / 1:10:15:29 / 8:47 pace / American Fork River Trail

Rained on me.
