This was a really "fun" run - I put the fun in quotes, only because I am serious - it's been awhile since I have had fun on a long run and so this was quite enjoyable.
It was wet and rainy this morning, light drizzle, but it maintained throughout the run -- and I am the rare breed that loves running in the rain. This was all a new course, so I knew it would be around 5-6 miles, so it was even better when I knew it would go all the way to 7. This took me on a new trail that I hadn't been on and I was going UP the entire way (see graphic just below here). I just relaxed in this run and kept the pace at the kind where I could go for awhile.
No, the graphic isn't messed up, it actually went off the chart! I got a 10 something on this mile! Total time was 1:03:50 for a 9:06 avg and as I wanted to keep it at 9:00, that was very well. I had plenty of energy throughout and as mentioned above, just enjoyed this one!
RunStrong friends!
