1:45:01. Loveland Colorado. Ran with Dean - we found what looked like a nice dirt path around Boyd Lake, that petered out about 2.5 miles into the run. After running around a while we found a concrete bike path (I really depise concrete for running). I ran along side the sidewalk for a while, then talked Dean into retracing our steps and running the last 50 mins on the dirt path in the opposite direction. The only downside to the other direction was the lack of water and no cover at all from the sun. I am pretty sure the last 4 miles of our run was in the mid 90's (even though it was pretty early in the morning). Dean was talking about this pain in his hip (yes hip) that he gets when he runs with me on long runs - because the pace is so slow for him I am sure. Because we were hot and needed to check out of our hotel room the last 2 miles of our run was pretty quick (likely sub 8 pace). I felt pretty sick when we finished. We are in Denver now, I have a 3 hour meeting tonight and will miss the opening mixer (7000 statisticians is a site to see, I tell you!). |
