Longest run I've done since before the St. George Marathon last fall. Steve, Bill, Ken and Sasha did a loop out on Snow Canyon Parkway, through Ivins and Kayenta, then back on the highway through Santa Clara. I was a little concerned in the beginning as Bill kept pushing the pace. I was really hoping for a slower, easier pace but I managed to stay with the group for most of the run. I did the first 16 1:54:13 for a 7:08 average. The last two miles I took it really easy, as I was beginning to cramp up a little bit. I think my body was wondering what was going on, since I hadn't run that far in quite some time. 1-7:45 2-7:00 3-6:57 4-7:11 5-6:58 6-6:48 7-7:23- Had a little hill climb here and part of mile 8 as I remember
8-7:30 9-7:06 10-6:45 11-6:36 12-6:59 13-6:51 14-6:40 15-7:37 Hard to get going again after stopping for water
16-7:57 Last two miles up Sunset very slow and easy. Overall pretty pleased I made myself come over and run with the club and I forced myself to go as far as I did. I only need 2 more miles today for me to meet my goal of 60 for the week. Which I'm feeling good about considering where my training has been the last few weeks with the calf injury. Cumulus-27 Really liking these shoes so far Went out and did another easy 2 miles (bridge and back), legs and hips pretty sore from the run this morning. Nimbus-131.5 |
