I met my SIL up Provo Canyon this morning. She is fast and knew she would push me hard from the start. I did this run back on October 10 alone and was anxious to see if there was improvement since then.
The run up the canyon seemed to take forever and I felt the incline. I took a GU at mile 5. I went to start my watch again and it had lost satellite and I couldn't get it going. I was totally frustrated because I wanted to compare splits from the last time I did this run. So I reset the whole thing, but it took 2.5/3 miles to get going again. So I estimated on those missed mile splits. Grrrrr.....
I felt good on this run, but I could tell I was working hard. I was definitely breathing hard by the end and my legs were tired. It was windy up there today!

When I got home, I changed clothes and headed downstairs. I was freezing so it felt good to get moving and warm up. My arms are very sore now. This is the end of my 3 week cycle and will start my rest week on Monday. I'm still feeling really good about how my training is going. I didn't have any major aches this week and count that as a blessing.
