It was quite the day of running. I met the group at 5:30am, then we drove up to the top of Glenmoor and ran down, trying to practice downhill running. I ran with Kelli pretty much the whole time, which was fun. I was happy to see our time was just under 48 minutes. Now I thought the distance was 6 miles so I was happy because I thought I had averaged under 8 minute miles. Then when I drove it later I saw the distance was only about 5.5 miles--so much for being under 8 minute miles. Debbie and I ran back home, giving me 8 miles for the morning run.
Now to get to Glenmoor this morning, I had driven my truck up and left it there. The original plan was to ride my bike back up to get it, but then later I thought, hey, this would be a good way to get in a second run today, so I ran back up to get the truck. I added some additional distance to give my total distance for that run 7 miles. That gave me 15 miles for the day. That is half of what Steve Ashbaker did the other day, so I still have a ways to catch him. Now if I just had some reason to do this amount of running every day, I'd either get really good or more likely injured or burned-out. It was fun for today anyway. |
