Since this is my first entry, I'll give a quick summary of recent events in my running life:
On September 10th, I finished the Wasatch 100 Mile Endurance Run. I was on pace for a very good finish, but hurt my knee around mile 50 and continually slowed more and more as I progressed. I ended up finishing in 28:59:02. If you're interested, you can read my full report at http://ohtheaftermath.blogspot.com.
After Wasatch 1 wasn't able to run for basically 3 weeks. Been trying to build up to longer runs again and put in 16 flat miles on 10/9. All this leads me to the 16th where I was able to get out and do 14 miles or so in the mountains (where I truly love to run).
I got up and did one of the loops I love in the East Canyon area. The loop goes Affleck Park - Big Mountain Pass - Swallow Rocks - Killyon Canyon - Affleck Park. I was quite slow since my mountain fitness is not up to par and my knee is still only about 90%, but ended up finishing in 2:40:33. Felt great getting up in the mountains again! |
