I don't know how to share a link to my Garmin connect but here's a quick summary of my 22 miler this morning: Ran with Emily at 5:45, ran up the Big Cottonwood Canyon Trail and headed north on Wasatch Blvd to Parley's Canyon and turned around. It was a beautiful morning and the sunrise was gorgeous! We decided to push it on the way back and averaged 7:00 or below for the last 9 miles. The last 4 miles were at 6:30 pace. I felt pretty good! But man, we were THIRSTY!!!!! We were constantly thirsty and hot. But this run was definitely a confidence booster for me because I felt pretty good at the end and I hope that means I'm not going to crash at mile 20 of the marathon. Thanks Emily for the great run! And I agree..."That port-o-potty hidden in the trees is SO CUTE!" Hee hee...

great long run with a fast finish. feeling good at the end of a run like that is a great sign -- especially at the end of a tough week of training. add in the taper, and you'll have a lot more to give!
