Week 2

We'll I recovered from my second long run much better than the first. I ran 16 mi on Saturday and I think I've found myself a rather nice long run loop in my new town. I ran from my place to the Island Trail, up Canyon Rd to the Bonneville Shore Line Trail. I'm going to run it in reverse next weekend to get a better view of the Wellsvilles by heading south along the Wasatch.

I took it quite slow, averaging 12 min miles. Perhaps speed will come with time. For now I'm happy to get through the distance. My hamstring is hurting just a little bit. Check out the elevation profile. That's quite a climb at mile 4.



People keep telling me that I'll be acclimated by now, but with altitude like this and last week's, starting at 4500 and 6000 feet, I think it could take a bit longer to get use to it.
