Emigration Canyon

This morninig I went with my running group up Emigration Canyon for a 12 mile run. My longest run now that my foot is better before this was 7 miles so I was dreading the 12 miles 6 of which were up hill. I ran with my mom and we took it slow.

I ended up speed walking for part of it and could almost keep up with my mom when she was running and would catch up when she walked. It was a pretty morning but I think I like running in the cold better than the heat. You can layer up in the winter and there is no way i am running in just a sports bra and shorts. I don't have the body for that.

After 5 miles of up hill hell I asked my mom and the other lady that was running with us if they were okay if we turned around a mile early they were both up for it. We ended up running 10.3 miles. I am okay that I didn't do the entire run.

Here are some pictures I took on my phone on the run.

It must have felt good to get some distance in, after the injury. Running in the canyons is pretty hard core. I'm pretty sure that it would kill me.
