8 mile morning run. Up to power line and down around GS. It was cool but very nice this morning. After all the rain this weekend the sand trail was nice and packed, and made for a very nice run. I got scared by a pack of coyote's that started howling right off the trail, right by me. I never did see them but when they started howling it was so sudden it caught me off guard. After reviewing my yearly totals I found I only need around 270 miles for the month of December to hit 4,000 miles for 2007. So I guess I'll try it. Normally this wouldn't be too hard- however I am right in the middle of wrestling and it's work to get out and get miles in. So hopefully I can squeak that off and then take a little break around the first of the year before getting back into it to be ready for Del Sol. 8 mile loop up into GS and back the long way. I ran in my new Asics Stratus (Royal). They felt great. It's so nice to run in new shoes. Like ten times less taxing on the body. 6:27 min mile pace. |
