My wife has early morings on Mondays for running so I get the night shoft on Mondays!!! I left my house at 8:00 pm and headed East on Salem Canal Dr and then went right on Woodland Hills Dr. From there it is nothing but up hill to the East Elk Ridge Entrance Road. When I hit mile 1 I realized 2 things??? One I should have packed some water and 2 is that I should have went to the bathroom!! Luckily at mile 2 I found a water hose on a house that was being built and snuck a drink of water. This is a really good 3.2 miles of uphill running. When I hit the top of Elk Ridge on Park Dr, the view was so awesome! I wanted to stop and take it in but I wanted to keep running. I ran down Park Dr and then turned right on Goosenest Dr and had anticipated on running through Payson and Back to Canal rd and home which is a 9 mile loop. How ever the bathroom break and my wife not wanting me gone all night directed me to run down Elk Ridge Dr and then home. It was a great down hill run to Canal Rd and then a nice flat half mile home. My average pace was 7:46, not real fast but with all of the hills it felt great. Not to mention a week of no running in Cancun, and eating 5 times a day for a week I felt great for having done all of that last week. |
