Great run this morning. Started at Highland, met up with Adam H. at the zoo then continued on to the top of the Emigration. We battled some fierce winds for a couple of miles but luckily as we got into the canyon they calmed down. At the top of Emigration we only had to wait a couple of minutes until ACorn and another guy crested the peak while running the Salt Lake 10 miler. Ran 4 miles fairly hard then ran with ACorn for the last 4 miles of his race. I hope he didn't mind the company. He held up great, maintained around a 5:25 pace through the end and probably won by a few minutes.
Miles 12 through 19 splits: 5:15, 5:01, 5:07, 5:11,5:25,5:25, 5:25, 5:18 Average for run was 6:36. This was the first run since the run down in American Fork (before I got the flu) where I felt strong through the end. I also think I did just enough, but not too much damage, to the calves to get them road marathon ready. I wore the Saucony Mirages for the first time. I agree with Jake that they feel good on longer runs.
Hip stuff at the gym afterwards.
