2:03:51 (1:07:14/56:36) ... so the first 7 looks a little slower than usual (4 mins slower actually), that is because I ran into a "friend" (in quotes because I don't really know her well) and she was running with her husband and I ran with them for about 2 - 3 miles. She doesn't run much but is training for PF Changs 1/2 and her husband actually does run (and pretty well too) but he was running with her to keep her company. She was super excited to run sub-11 min/mile pace - because she said she was getting really tired when they met up with me and yet was able to hang on!! yea. It was nice. I also "ran" into a co-worker who was riding bikes with her son (we just said "hi"). You can tell it is cooling off by all the people out ;-) ... it was, in fact, cooler, when I started, but I started a little later (8AM) and it was 87F by the time I finished at 10AM. Still, we Tucsonans consider it to be a much anticipated cooling trend when the lows are in the 70s and the heat (over 90F) does not kick in until 12 Noon ;-). Anyway, I ran the last 4 miles at MP, from about 7:45 down to 7:20 pace the last mile. I hope you are having a great day bloggers! |
