Casual Sunday run with Nate around Sugar House and Millcreek.  Nice way to start the week and finish the weekend.  I am doubling down on the ice bucket for the ankle today.

Took a day off from running because the ankle/foot swelling stubbornly won't go away and the 31 miles over the weekend didn't help. It should be slightly better tomorrow.

I decided to run this race since I haven't run a marathon since SGM last October and I needed a reminder of the journey.  This course is set up for a negative split because it's a loop and the first half is a gradual uphill and the last 10 are mostly downhill.  I didn't quite accomplish that as I went through 13 at just under a 6 min pace and then miles 14 through 16 that climb up to Deer Valley and a few super steep hills through town wore me out. Overall it was still a great workout and it should set me up well for SGM.  If you have never run this race I highly recommend it.  It was great to catch up with the women's half champ Rachelle and meet another blogger Dale(?) after the race. Sorry if I don't have that name right.

Now it's time (after some easy days) to hit some track workouts.

Garmin does a great job dramatizing elevation charts by truncating the y-axis. It looks like we climbed Everest.  The course was great with the exception of the little dagger they threw in there at mile 17.5
