We held our annual B.R.A.T. (Bike Run And Toob) this afternoon at the Riverdale Parkway / Weber River. The bikers have a great course through the trees and brush that runners like me can't keep up with them. A lot of fun regardless. I stayed back with my boss because he was more fun to be with than the spandex bikers.
After the great bike ride(no injury to myself this year), we ran with our toobs down the Riverdale Parkway to the Riverdale Kayak Rapids on the Weber River. We toobed down the rapids and cooled off in the river. We then ran back to the finish line where we ate bratwurst and drank soda. The run is only approximately 1.5 miles so the advantage goes to the bikers.
Anyway, after work I still needed to do a tempo run so I ran 9 on the treadmill. Warm up, 7 mile at tempo pace and 1 mile cool. Felt good even after eating two brats at the BRAT.
