Long run with friends. Ran with JeffR, Richard and Marty. Haven't ran with Marty for a while so was good to run with him again. Our plan was to run the first 16-7 miles of the SoJo marathon. So Richard and Jeff dropped off water at a few spots along the way and picked up Marty and I by the Temple. And drove up to Copperton park. Along the route there is some mean hills at the first. Mile 3-4 or so is the first one by the dump. And then by Kenncott/Butterfield canyon is 2 more nasty hills. Long but gradual. We started to see alot of bikers at this point and was suprised since half had bibs and the other half didn't. When we got down by Herriman HS there was a race there and ran into Baldmanrunning. And chatted with him for a min and then ran off. Saw Walter speed by shortly after that. So there was about 300+ bikers all over that area. I guess they were going to be biking that same roads we had just ran ealier. Then we turned down to day break and then passed that and back down and around to the temple. That was about mile 17. Left Marty by the park and where my car was. He was wanting 16-8 and that was 16. Ran with Richard and Jeff to the temple and peeled off at 18. They were going to run home to make it 20-22 I am thinking more like 23:). After I finished my run went to the church and played some ultimate frisbee to cooldown for 40 mins. And then went up to cascade springs with the wife. She really wanted to get out in the mountains. There was also a 100 mile ride going on in AF canyon. Was cool to see so many people out and excercising.
