To change things up, I ran a route that I usually run backwards (in reverse - I wasn't actually running backwards). It's funny how I never noticed how much downhill I usually have until I had to run it the other way. To top things off, most of the uphill was into the wind. I am starting to feel better and was able to pick up the pace towards the end of the run. I saw the WXHS cross country team out this morning and it got me to pick the pace up a little. Total Time: 1:50:11 (7:52/mile) |
