Tonight I was going to meet Shawn W, but he never showed up so I was now 15 minutes behind the already busy night schedule. I was only going to run 5 miles but decided that I would run up past shawn's dad's house and see if he was there. I decided to run up to the mail boxes in Woodland Hills and then back to Salem Canal Rd and then home. It is a great 10k course, there is about an even 2 miles of up to start and 2 miles of down and 2.2 miles of flat. If you run it backwards it is a little tougher on the uphill section. The fastest that I have ever ran this on a training run was 43:??. I was in a hurry to get home so I decided to push the run a little and see how the legs would react.
Here are the split's
1 - 7:38
2 - 7:09 this is a good uphill section, I felt very comfortable at this pace.
3 - 6:41
4 - 6:13
5 - 6:32
6 - 6:26
.2 - 1:15
6:46 ave pace total time 41:55
I felt very comfortable on this run, it actually felt really good to push the pace a little. So I have set a new PR for this training run and hope to use it as a gage for future runs on this course.
