Felt like my legs needed a little break from the pavement so I headed for the mountains. Parked my car about 1/2 mile from the B and headed up the dirt road that climbs the mountain. I wasn't sure how much climbing was going to be involved and I think I may have bit off more than I could chew. It was a tough run. I was expecting a few flat sections but it was non-stop climbing. Reached the snow after about 6 miles and kept going for another 1.5 miles then turned around and headed back to the car. Towards the top, the dirt road was just wet enough to make it spongy. It was a great surface to run on. On the way back down, I focused on a good leg turnover and driving my legs forward. I think that the uphill running is the cause of my laziness in my push off. It was a lot more fun coming down than going up. Total Time: 2:02: 35 (8:10/mile)
Time Going Up: 1:12:28 (9:40/mile)
Time Coming Down: 50:07 (6:41/mile) |
