9:46, 9:38, 9:43, 10:03, 9:31, 9:12, 8:45, 8:37, 7:49 AP: 9:16 1:23:00 I met my good buddy Sarah at the mouth of Provo Canyon. It was SO SO SO cold standing in the parking lot. I kept saying, "It is suppose to be the middle of July", but once we got past the bridge, the wind died down and we were warmed up. I had really low expectations for the run considering my past few weeks of training. I wanted to be at a conversational pace and that is what we did. I love talking with runners...they just get it! I kept seeing all the RHPC signs and was hoping we would see them on the way down the canyon. I was feeling tired around our halfway point. The "doubting thomas" came out and I was hoping I could just finish the run. But heading down that canyon makes it SO much easier! We started seeing all the HOT PINK shirts and cheering for them! It was so fun...next year, I am TOTALLY doing it! I had a lot of fun on this run. My lower legs have really started bruising from ART yesterday. So I am not sure if they are sore from that or from the run OR both! We iced down in the river after....heavenly! What a great run! Thanks running bud!
