4pm, humid, 74 degrees. Not a bad day overall for a run. The first part of this run included some tough uphill sections through mile 5 or so. From about 5.25 to 6.75 there was little relief from the sun. It was mostly overcast and the majority of the run was shaded by trees, but this section was in the open and the sun came out for a bit. After mile 8 or so I hit a slight downhill section that began a 3 mile pick-up to marathon pace. After the first mile the rest of the pick-up was mostly flat. I followed this up with 3 more aerobic base miles. 14.01 in 1:46:09 (7:34s). Splits as follows: 7:42, 7:29, 7:50 (uphill sections), 7:52 (uphill sections), 7:55 (uphill sections), 7:49 (uphill sections, 7:35, 7:37 (short but tough uphill section), 7:11 (slight but long downhill section), 7:00, 6:45, 7:43, 7:34, 7:57 (uphill section). |
