10 miles, 6.5 in the hills above the zoo and 3.5 on the TM. Basically the 2 extremes of running. Based on effort and time this was more like a 15 mile run because my first 2 miles went straight up the mountain and gained 2,300 ft. Just maintaining any resemblance of a running motion was the goal for those miles. After I hit the peak at those weird white towers above the zoo I went down some technical trails on the backside. Rather than continuing up and down trails and leaving my legs super beat up tomorrow I decided to do my last 3.5 miles on the treadmill. At least for those miles I felt like I was moving. Odds of running the Steeplechase are now around 75%!!! Odds of running of running fast are TBD. |
