Saturday morning, Dani and I both got up at the unholy hour of 6:45 a.m. to go on a Red Rock Relay team run up Provo canyon. Geoff, Kevin, Chris, Dani, and I headed up University Ave and got to Bridal Veils Park around 7:30.
It was warmer than it was for our Thursday run/fiasco, but it was still kind of cold. Kevin was nice enough to run with me the whole time, even though his legs are long enough, I'm pretty sure he could have just walked next to me at a comfortable pace and kept up. We went 2.5 ish miles up to Vivian Park, talked to a nice ultra-marathoner who was also out for a morning run, and then headed back down.
It was a good first team run--I got to know Kevin better and learned interesting and cool things about his family.
I don't really know how long it took us, but it was about 5 miles and it took us about an hour (including a five minute breather at the top).
Distance: approx 5 miles
Time: approx 55 minutes
Pace: approx 11 min/mile
Knee update: The outside of my left knee has been giving me a little bit of pain. I talked to my physical therapist friend who told me it was probably a tendon and showed me a little black band to put around my leg to support it. I bought such a band, but my knee still hurt after our run on Saturday. I iced it for a few minutes, and I am planning on low impact cross training and weight training for the first part of this week to strengthen my tendon and let it heal.
