Ran with Bill, Dave, Logan and Hayden...well....more like I ran behind them the whole time. Good thing I took my ipod along:) Drove out to Utah hill and drove 10 miles down. We ran up Utah Hill for 10 miles (well I turned around a quarter mile early cuz dave brought my water with him and so there was no reason for my to run the last quarter mile) This was a tough run...as I was trudging along I told myself you can turn around at 8 miles and then I got thinking and I told myself no you can turn around at 9 cuz 18 is much better number than 16 and then when I got to 9 I said no way I have to go all the way cuz i need my water or i will die out here. That is a tough climb!!! Going down felt like heaven and I was so proud of seeing what I had just ran up! I have never ran up it, only down.

Here are my miles coming down, felt awesome, just very hot! 6:23, 6:41, 6:35, 6:31, 6:44, 6:47, 7:00, 7:11, 7:10- started to get pretty tired towards the end. But a good tempo for me.  Saw April after and she worked out some good knots in my quad, hamstring and calf. My right quad going up the hill was burning so bad and i felt like I was dragging it along. Note to self I cant go 2 months btween massages.

Thanks guys for letting me come! You always boost my confidence!

Great run Marcie! Way to stick with those crazy guys! I've decided April is my new best friend! I feel like I can't go 2 weeks without seeing her, let alone 2 months! :)
