We had to get our long run in today because tomorrow we are helping out at the Spanish Fork 1/2 marathon. We did the same thing as last Saturday. This time we had my friend, Anna Lisa, with us. It was so nice because her nice hubby woke up early to take us to the top so we didn't have to drive back up to pick up a vehicle afterwards! Yeah Justin! Thank you so much!
It was pretty dang dark up there in that canyon at 5:45 A.M.! Luckily it was Friday morning so most people were going to work and there wasn't much traffic anywhere. Loved having the trails mostly to ourselves!
It was another enjoyable long run...I guess I won't have one this long again until the actual marathon. Last week and this week I took and Ibuprophen at the start and then at mile 10. I use to not like the idea of taking anything while running because I felt like it just masked the pain and made things worse by running on an injury you are not aware is happening. But I am now believing that a little bit of IB helps keep the inflamation down. I will plan to use some for the marathon.
Saturday countdown to the marathon...
Tomorrow: Help at the 1/2 marathon
Next Saturday: Celebrate 24 years with my absolutely amazing hubby! Run a 14 - 18 miler at Fish Lake.
Saturday after that: Run the Dirty Dash with that same cute hubby! Can't wait...should be lots of dirty fun!

Saturday after that: Take 'er easy! : ) |
