Long run today.  I'm a little worried about going long like this before a half marathon Saturday but I have to get the marathon training in..

 

28 miles up Logan canyon and back down.  First time using a filter bottle so I was able to keep hydrated out of the river for the entire run.  Right on a 7:20 min mile pace

I have never run 28 miles in my life. great job!

if you need a shuttle to the starting line saturday let me know. I will be down there with a friend from SLC, we will park one car at the bottom and one at the top and will be happy to give you a ride up.

also, when you finish your race, if you need a cooldown come back up the course and pace me in!

I have not even ran this race. Do you have to get a shuttle up to the start? I'd love to catch a ride with you guys.

Steve, it is point to point, starting up by the U of U and ending by the gateway mall. Runners can take the trax up in the morning, there are no buses. My friend and I will spot a car at the end, then drive one to the race start to save time over trax. I will let you know where we will be at what time to catch a ride with us. Would help to get your cell phone number. See you saturday.
