90 minute restorative yoga class left me feeling not even slightly restored.

Let's combine the longest time I have ever been on my feet continuously with the fastest run I have ever done in my life all in the same 24 hour period with essentially no sleep. Yesterday was SOOOOO FUN, but SERIOUSLY I think I am started to act like an FRB-er :)

Wandered around the Ave's for a good 90 minutes. I LOVE FALL! Picked up some vegetables and stopped by Hatch's for some mood-enhancing chocolates. My right glute/pirformis and left shin are still really sore. Odd combo. Running tomorrow hopefully!

Still sore. Up Memroy Grove not so bad. Down Memory Grove no bueno.

Bike, core, and arms.

I love that the NYTimes is always covering ultrarunning events - Tour du Mont Blanc Slideshow! Cannot believe I was in Chamonix for this last year - CCC 2015 is my goal!

Lazy run on the BST with the last quarter mile at 6:55 pace (uphill to make myself feel better). Saw my first tarantula, going to be an early winter! I once met an old man up City Creek who told me that the tarantulas come out one week before the first snow.

Too busy. Forgot to exercise today so I guess I will run a half marathon tomorrow. 2 goals: finish in under 2 hours and don't look at Garmin too much.

Ummm... that was SO HARD! Was lying oh so comfortably in bed this morning wondering which race would be easier, the Park City Trail Half or the Flat as a Pancake 5K. I opted for a half hour more of sleep and didn't make my final decision until I got on I-80. I got to the start of the Park City Trail half with 5 minutes to spare and thankfully they had pushed back the start 15 minutes. It was a lovely 52 degrees and foggy as crap, but at least the rain hadn't started yet. 

The first mile was rough, the mud was deep, the shoes were heavy, and the stokemeter wasn't even registering -  I didn't know how I could possibly continue through this for 13 plus miles. Thankfully the trail was slightly more dry after the first few miles, but ughhh my legs never felt like they didn't have 10 pounds of something weighing them down. This was the closest I have ever felt to leg cramping-ness, my legs just didn't want to move, they just really, really wanted to be sitting in a hot tub. Seriously, I was barely breathing hard and my legs were like heck no we're not going to go anywhere. My diet has been pretty crappy this week and I hadn't run much so I was wondering if that is why my legs felt like DEATH. Perhaps there is a little residual fatigue in the legs after last weekend's Wasatch/Peruvian ridiculousness :)

Anyways... I finished just short of my goal of under 2 hours, but the course was a half mile long (course was re-routed due to life sucking mud holes) so I say GOAL ACCOMPLISHED! I am feeling pretty confident that I can make my sub 1:42:32 half marathon goal in Moab next month since there will be no rocks, mud puddles, slippery slides, 1000 feet of elevation gain, residual Peruvian-nes and well... trails :) Won some pretty nifty Pearl Izumi arm warmers, which would have perfect for today! Pretty exciting stuff!

Oh and I haven't talked about this in a while because I don't think about it much anymore, but the hip is as good as new!  Seven months out from the second surgery this week and couldn't be happier with it :)
