Thought I should start running again before getting too comfortable sleeping in, sitting around watching movies, eating junk food. Oh, I'll still do all that, but with some daily exercise in the mix.
The bike path that runs through Farmington to Kaysville, and to nether regions beyond is straight as...an old railway. I hate running on pavement. But trails are a pina colada Slurpee right now, and I can't go in to 'the big one' next month undertrained..
I ran out 7.5 miles and turned around. No walking, no water, no gels. I heard the gels are packets of flavored sperm, anyway. I wanted to do a negative split on the way back. I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that meddling side ache I got the last half mile. I haven't had a side cramp for...I can't remember. Costa Vida was still in there. I ended with a precisely even split: One hour there, one back.
Total vert: 1 foot (12 inches)
