Cheesey bottom crust

Firestation+. Not quite over the race from Saturday I guess cause this was a hard run. I usually feel good on the climb back from the Firestation but today I was pooped during the whole run and the climb was not enjoyable.

Landfill. Ugly run. Zero energy. Had to stop a couple times to let the body rest. Hopefully anymore runs like this are few and far between.

Middleton/Industrial. So much better of a run today. Body felt good the whole time and I was able to power up the firestation hill.

City Wells. Got up early to try and hit the trail before anyone else spoiled it. Thankfully I had it all to myself. The rain had soaked the sand really good so it was easy to run in. Body was a little tired but the beautiful desert and the smell more than made up for it.

Met up with Mike, Bill, Cody, Dustin and Ken and ran down Utah Hill to Mikes house in Santa Clara. Rained the whole run and I loved it. Everyone took off as soon as we got out of the car but I needed to stretch so I was alone for the first few miles until the first water stop. I started to feel really tired and shaky just before the water stop and was thinking this was going to be a long run. I had a gatorade there and after getting some of that down I felt better. I was still back behind everyone but coming up the Shivwitts hill I passed everyone but Dustin and from there back to Mikes the pace was pretty good. Stayed right with Ken and Dustin until Kayenta when they stopped for water. I just grabbed mine and kept on trucking. I would have like to have had my watch to see what the times where for those last several miles cause it felt like I was hitting pretty good miles. Felt smooth and not effortless but like I could keep that effort for miles for the first time in well over a year or more. I think Dustin said he had just over 7 pace for the whole run so a nice run.
