I am recovered. This evening after work I was sitting around thinking of going out but not decided on anywhere to go. There are a multitude of great trails in and near Farmington. I drove over toward the mountain and on impulse decided to run the Flag Rock race course in its entirety. Then I decided I would go as fast as possible and shatter my PR of 1h7m for 7.25 miles and 1800 feet of vert. I ran hard, as if I was racing. No water, no gels. The sun set as I was on top of Flag Rock. I arrived at the flag at 35m53s. Ran quick down the North side. Everything was fast. I really wanted to break one hour. I approximated where the start/finish mat would be in the school driveway. Total time was 1:04:53. Will have work to do in the next three months to contend for the top spot in July. This is the year I shatter all my PRs. Of that I am sure.
