On Saturday, I met up with Cathy, Hilary and Robert Merriman for a run down American Fork canyon. It ended up being one of the best runs I've ever done! So fun, and best of all, I felt strong and fast (ish). :)
We drove in Hilary's car to the top. It was a GORGEOUS view. I couldn't believe I'd never been up there before. I'm so in love with Utah. And watch, we'll probably leave now....
We averaged a 9;15 pace for 8 miles. Wow! That's SO NOT normal for me. And I felt good! Granted, it was all downhill, but I remember when I couldn't hold a 10:00 pace downhill. Progress! Robert and Hilary were good running partners for Cathy and me. They are a tad faster than us, so it was a good push for us. It was a really fun group. I hope we can run together again soon!
When we got back to the mouth of the canyon, we had left a batch of cinnamon rolls that Cathy had made in Robert's car. They were divine! Hit the spot perfectly! And we had no utensils or napkins, so we were somewhat barbaric as we dug in. Even using RM's knife to cut them, ha!
I'm so grateful for my running family. These people have been a big part of my life for the past year, and I love each one of them so much! Hilary and Cathy are like sisters to me, and well, you all know how I adore Mr. Robert Merriman.
Auggie turns one!
