Nice tempo run by myself on the JRP this morning. Started at the iron bridge and went south on a out and back. I like this stretch as it keeps my splits pretty honest, pretty much flat with some little rollers mixed in. 2 mile warm up to willow park 8:37,8:37: went into the 7 mile tempo trying to keep it around 6:50 ish. - 6:56, 6:51,6:53,6:54,6:47,6:42,6:42, finished with 3 miles back to the car, 8:06,7:57,7:29
Felt pretty good about this one. I am going backpacking into the high country tomorrow for a week or so. Hopefully I can get some trail runs/adventures in. If nothing else I will get a lot of miles on my legs. And with eating freeze dried meals I'm sure to drop some pounds. I look forward to this time all year it is so refreshing to get away and back to nature. |
