9 miles down Big Cottonwood Canyon. Ran with Baptiste from Mill D upper parking lot back down to the mouth of the canyon. He is running the marathon in Sept. and wanted to train on the downhill a bit. He had texted me to say he is running 9:30-10:00 min miles. I thought in my head that we would be faster than that just due to the steep road. We ended up running 7:37 avg for the 9 miles. My hip felt fine throughout which is encouraging.
Also, the canyon was amazing this morning after the rain storm. It was in the 50's at the start of our run!
