No sleep last night.  My husband pointed out that it was hot.  I couldn't figure out why  I couldn't fall asleep.  Had to close my windows as neighbors BRIGHT light and NOISE (from kids' night games) added to my problem of getting to sleep.  I was up every hour.  And I felt achy, bones and joints.  Allergies?  Anyway picked up Melanie at Vivian park (she was running 12 miles and I   20 miles).  I parked my other car at the mouth of Provo Canyon.  My dear husband drove us up to Wallsburg and got us there for a 6:15am start.  It was chilly at first but then became quite nice.  Ran miles 1.5 to 19.5 of the UVM course.  It is hard to find the right road of the start so we just drove up the canyon 18 miles heading towards Wallsburg.  What a nice springy day.  Melanie felt great so she kept me alive the first 9 miles that I wanted to run slow but it didn't turn out that way.  We were doing awesome on all those hills.  It is NOT an easy course for those first 15 miles.  Anyway  ONLY had ONE water stop at Mel's ending (12 miles) and then I was off on my own for the last 6 miles to the mouth of the canyon.  To get in 18 miles I had to go beyond the light under the bridge on University past the parking lot then turn around to run back to the parking lot to get 18 even.  Pace for 18 miles = 7:04.  Splits:  8:01, 7:28, 7:12, 7:04, HILL- 7:14,   bigger hill  7:18,  6:47 a little break from the hills, 7:09 (more hills),  7:17 and more HILLS, 6:48, 7:03,  bye Melanie!!, 6:51, and yet ANOTHER HILL-- 7:04,  6:42 (living for the down hill : D) , 6:48, 6:46, 6:43, those last three were only slight downhill,  6:49 ( last bit uphill as I turned around).  FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THINGS.  NOT EVEN feeling it YET.  OFF to WORK I go for half a shift.  Happy DAY!! : DDDDDD
