Morning run w/John Nevels on the refuge truck trail . We ran from Mussel Camp east to Charest road and back then added on the out and back to the Tenn. river. John is tapering for the Pinhoti 100 miler (Nov. 15) so this was a short day for him. We ran at +/- 7:30 pace then picked it up over the last 4 miles. A good progression run for me in my prep for Rocket City in Dec.I went thru 2 bottles of gatorade and ate 2 GU's, John did the whole run with nothing but water for aid. Thankfully he had 3 calls of nature that allowed me to slow to a walk or ultra pace until he caught back up. Good run, good company, good day. |
