Lunch - 5.5 miles outside. Since I am considering doing Pat's run in about 3 weeks, I took a look at the course and decided I could run most of it during lunch. Made the mistake of hitting the start button on my Garmin before it had acquired a lock on a satellite - as a result, the first .25 miles of the run were not logged on the Garmin, and it messed up the first mile split (since the timer was still running) and caused all the rest of the mile splits to be off by .25 miles. Had one mile split that was 6:55 due to a large downhill portion that I got down to 5:55 pace on without feeling uncomfortable or out of control at all. Average pace for the run was about 7:25/mile. |
