I swam 1/2 mile this morning at dimple dell.  I did 1/4 in 8 minutes and the other in 7:45 minutes.  The water felt good to get into after yesterdays race.

I did some speed work this morning on riverton's track.  After a mile and a half warmup I did 8x200's and 4x400's.  my 200's pace was around 39-43.  My 400's were 1.13-124. Then I did a cool down.   It was hard and my legs are still tired from saturday.  Its been harder to recover from the WBR then a half marathon.   It was real windy this morning and the sprinklers were watering the track more than the lawn.  It was a shocker to get hit with a spray of canal water at 5:30 in the morning!  I hope I dont get sick. 

I ran 10 miles tonight up millcreek canyon from the gate close to the top to the upper parking lot. It was close to 5 miles up at a 8:15 pace. The elevation started at 6077' and ended at 8000' which was a rise of 1923' over the 5 miles.  Most of the rise was at the top.  It took me 42 minutes to get up and coming down I did a 5:45, 5:28, 5:08, 6:05,5:17.  My hip took some serious jolts and Ill have to ice it tonight.

I ran the daybreak loop with my sis in law who is down from Hamilton Montana.  She's training for St. George and her kids are doing the swim camp  at BYU for 2 weeks.  For those who havnt been to Hamilton, your missing out!  Brad Pitt shot his movie "a river runs through it" there and he actually owns alot of land off the bitter root river.   He even bought the bar that he was killed in the movie in.  We ran 7.5 miles at a 9:46 average which felt pretty good to do a nice paced run this morning.  My right hip is in a bit of trouble. I cant tell if its my muscle or problems from 1993 when I got hit by a car.  I can usually feel quite a bit of pain at the end of marathons from my hips and pelvis.  But Ill keep icing it and live to be another day older.

I drove up to park city and ran with Clyde, Chad, Adam W., Meagan, Josh, Steve, Jeff Mclellan, and I hope I didnt leave anyone out.  We ran a great loop and after a few miles I got to talking with Jeff and he pulled my pace quicker and we soon found ourself  ahead a ways.  We followed the park city half marathon course and then the start of the marthon course.  We ended  up running a few more miles than the others at an insane pace. Jeff is a great runner, very strong. We caught up to the others on their last mile and finished up with them.  It was about 45 degrees in the morning and warmed up to the 60's by the finish.  It was sooo nice up there this morning.
