Decided to run Menan this year b/c I missed it last year.

Suprisingly, my legs felt really good. I took it super easy on the downhills and manged to run all the uphills that were runable!

Time was way slower than I though it would be, but I ran strong so i'm happy.

Zions 50K.

Race was overall much better than the Antelope Island race, which is all I wanted. The race was much harder than I anticipated due to terrain.

4 miles then steep 1,500' climb to the top of the mesa. The top was lots of winding, all slick rock, and not a lot of great markings to follow the trail. I was running with 2 other runners and leading the way, which was very draining mentally and jarring physically. It was really hard to get into a running rhythm. Ran around for about 10 miles then headed back down the mesa- super steep with lots of rocks.

Felt pretty good, but didn't fuel enough and ended up a little dizzy the last few miles. The 3rd place girls and I ran togetherfor about 25 miles (in 2nd place) and some lady came screaming by us with about 3 miles to go and I slowed down. Finished just behind her.

Overall, happy my legs and endurance felt solid.

skipped the morning run.

8 miles at lunch 2x 2 miles intervals. First time I have used my watch in a while and I was pleasantly surprised. 7:10, 6:48, 6:50, 6:55. Everytime I looked at my watch I was going way too fast and had to slow down...

18.5 miles up Bone Road and down. Chased by a stupid rottweiler at the bottom that was looking for blood. Luckily, a really nice guy turned around and gave me a ride for about 400m away from the dog.
