Ran 12.7 in the morning in the hills from home with jtshad. Actually, jtshad made several out-n-back runs ahead of me and ended up with an addional 2+ miles. He just keeps getting better! I plodded along and got the miles, but need some more uphill training for the mostly flat and slightly uphill Missoula marathon. We made a loop up and around Comore Loma and then ran the 4 mile steady climb up to the end of Crowley rd. Thought I'd die going up but felt great coming down and even got a few fast miles. Pace - 8:24
After jtshad left, I went back out for a 2 mile loop back up with my son Jake at a little slower pace. Jake wants to try the half marathon so we will do some training together which should be fun. |
