Out and back on 500/700 South to 5600 W. I yelled at some cows while running up to I80 and then again on my way back to 700 South. They took note but weren't overly concerned. Despite the snowy first half, I was feeling terrific and decided to do some half miles in 3 minutes. After four of those with half mile rests in between from miles 11-14.5, I was done for. My feet were quite achy which is unusual and I was spent. I had an 8:30 mile 18 when there is a 80 foot climb and managed an 8:01 for mile 19 back home. 2:27:20 with 400 ft of climb perhaps. Life lesson of the day- Altras suck on the long run. |
