Set my alarm for 3:00 am, woke up at 2:50. Why? Is it time for D-News marathon already? Nope, the myth, the legend Jeff Shadley was in town and I heard a rumor of an early long run, 2 words that just get me out of bed and my heart pumpin! Jeff was staying at Rob Murphys house and brought along 2 really fast looking kids Caleb and Gray from Idaho. Met with them at 4:00 and went on the historic guided tour of Sugar House area, up to the Zoo, down the D-News course for a while and around about places I never new existed. Really great run, I feel bad for bailing out on Ryan but I enjoy the early stuff and thought it would be fun to run with new people. Very bad choice of shoes, I wore my Free TR winters thinking the roads would be icy, I've never ran that far in them and my feet really hurt, also my Hip started acting up around mile 12 coming back down the hill, but after a quick pitstop at Rob's house it felt fine after that. Came home and got in the hot tub with the kids, we played Double Dog Triple Dare get out of the hot tub, go make snow angels and then get back in. I actually think it helped with recovery. 18.2 miles in 1:17ish 7:49ish.
