Another run up the same trail, a little over 72 minutes today. It was so misty and foggy that I could only see out about 5 to 10 meters in a lot of places, 20 in clear areas, there's only one marker for distance, there's this weird place at 4 miles that they call a park, yesterday I was a total beast and ran to it in 27 minutes, the first 3 miles are pretty steep uphill and the last mile is half up and half down. So sub 7 pace was really good, I think I might have actually done up to 17 miles yesterday. Today I still ran pretty well, I reached the mark in 30 minutes, I was pretty tired but still running decently fast. I ran 8 minutes past the 4 mile mark to make sure it was a mile, it was half downhill and half uphill. Then I ran back, the run back took me 34 minutes so that was sub 7 minute mile pace. Tomorrow will probably be a day off, we leave pretty early, stop to race these really fast cars, and the drive home. We might not be home until 1am. So I might just run to stretch my legs when we stop. The Sunday I will do Wasatch pepperwood or something, maybe something higher elevation. I need to talk to Coach Murphy about what I need to do the week of the marathon. Last day of beach and surfing! |
