20.50 in 2:43:12 (7:58). Started at 6:00 AM and was solo cause Mark is running Squaw Peak 50. Ran from the movie theaters in the Riverwoods up 10.25 and then back. Turnaround point was at Big Springs and hit it right around 1:26:00. The climb up South Fork is brutal, especially the last 1.5 miles. Didn't want to kill myself coming down, but just wanted to get into a decent rhythm. Overall, a good run. Right hammy, both knees (especially the left), and the left achilles are all sore and bothered me quite a bit the last 2-3 miles. I may have to take several days off just to heal up. Last Monday's run has had a lasting effect. UV 1/2 next week, so I'm fine with decreasing the mileage this next week. |
