12 EASY pace miles at 7:12am on a NICE HILLY COURSE.  VERT unknown but up there.  I just kept laddering up the side of Orem and then found my self far from home.  Could have gotten in 12.4 to my house but I decided to stick to the plan and stop at 12 miles and walked  the rest of the way home in the cool, but sunkissed frosted morning.  Wore my trail shoes on the road.   They are more bulky and lately I can feel the rock plate in the  left forefoot.  It is not painful just bumpy.  I am wearing my trail shoes from time to time to strengthen areas in my leg muscles by switching shoes, an uncommon occurence in my past running life.  I chicked a guy who looked in shape.  I don't think he liked that.  He tried to stay with me.  I feel sorta bad.  But I am sure he just started running again or something.  This run felt easy until the last two miles when I was just REALLY hungry.  Lately I have been getting really hungry during long runs and THIRSTY.  But no way will I carry water!!  I did that for the Antelope Island 32 miler but will not on a regular run.  What to do?  Water stations should open up soon I hope.  One park  I ran by at mile 4 had a working water spout.  YAY!!!  AP today 8:19.

Hey, you chicked me (and several other guys) at the Buffalo run :) No worries.

I have yet to find a drinking fountain turned on this year and it seems most of the park bathrooms have been locked as well.

Nice way to start out your week.

Scott, you should be finding more on since they are asking us to start watering like crazy, rain or shine due to the EXCESS runoff we are going to have this year....FLOOD possibilities. I was surprised to find a WELL spout working but oh so wonderful.

I notice that in the Cascadias on longer runs, like there's a bar running across under the ball of my foot...I don't know if you're feeling the same thing. I'd have to correct Scott's statement above - you didn't just chick 'several' dudes on the Buffalo Run, you chicked 'Most" dudes, including me! :)

I carry water on most 10+ milers, especially as the weather gets warmer - but I agree they should get that water turned on, especially if they're worried about too much!! Nice Run.

Yes that is exactly what I feel but just on the left foot so far. Just hope it doesn't "spring" out of the material or anything. : D

From Becky1 on Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 22:46:17 from 76.23.13.133

Jealous. Most of my runs long runs I have to carry water, esp in the summer.

Sounds like a relaxing run. So...I signed up for the St. George marathon lotttery today...

hey, SO DID I, I actually put it in my mail box last night at about 7pm. I also put the number "7" on the back of the envelope, for LUCKY 7. What a coincidence!!! I hope we both get in. I think it is meant to be so we have to right? : D
