2:00:56 ... ok, so I am not sure how long this run was. I ran 7 laps on the grass at Sugarhouse Park. I thought it was 1.7 miles each lap, but there is no way that can be right - "map my run" gives me about 1.88 - so I called it 1.85. Anyway - it was hard ... the grass was uneven and I can tell I have not done this type of thing for a while, good thing was the hills did not feel bad. I ran pretty well at the end of the run, but it took a while to warm up (17:05, 16:35, 16:34, 16:10, 16:13, 16:17, 16:10) (~8:44 - 9:14 pace). With runs like this (where I am not sure what the mileage is, and it is a hard course) the best I can do is compare with my previous runs -- and this comparison was pretty good - I ran the last 4 laps faster than I had run the same course in October - yippee (although it was probably cooler today which can make a big difference). Very fun watching all the cute children look for their Easter eggs (the park was PACKED) ... nice weather for an Easter egg hunt and family fun! Happy Easter Bloggers |
