Long Run 1:58:00 [3] 9.1 mi (12:58 / mi)
Loop around N. Table with a little extra. Pretty much wearing my race kit with hydration pack with full bottles. Never felt anything bad in my back and I was able to perform the whole time without a break. I also did a pretty steep section, up and down, at ultra race pace in the last 20 minutes since Zion will contain a number of those up and downs throughout the race. I don't fee great, but I certainly feel more than okay. I guess that means I feel good. I also stumbled several times and never had an issue. Also, I am really able to stretch to nearly normal levels at home after the run. The foam roller really doesn't hurt anywhere in my back. I can "make" the lacrosse ball hurt if I get it just in the right spot on the right side of my back. I think the race is a go.
