So my wife took the early morning running shift this morning so I was forced to go out at night again!!! I have a close friend that is training for the Wasatch 100, and so he runs a lot in the mountains and hills around Provo, Orem, Lindon etc... I try and run with him at least once a week in the mountains, it is always a great work out. You can't cover the same amount of miles in the same time that you can on asphalt but it is still a great work out! He called me around 3:00 and said hey it's going to be a full moon tonight let's go out for a midnight run??? I am running the last 25 miles of the Wasatch 100 with him and most of my portion will be at night.
We started at the Timponagoas park in the mouth of Provo Canyon and headed north up to the ROCK PILE!! you climb about 1,000 feet in elevation and then we continued up to anout 7,000 feet which is at mile 4. It was very pretty when we hit the top, we did get rained on and kept having glimpes of animals dashing in front of us. On the down hill we had to go a little slower so that we didn't fall and kill ourselves. We finished the run at midnight so overall running was 1hr 25min. It was a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again. I had intentions to run 13 this morning however 4 hours of sleep is not a good thing, so I will have to go out again tonight! |
