Paula and I met early and ran my favorite run up through Westridge. Unfortunately it is not her favorite run but she was a good sport. The first four miles of up hill were not as bad as I remember, however we did not push hard either. We enjoyed the view at the top and then ran back. I dropped her off at 9 miles and then added on another three. I was feeling pretty good until 10.5 and then the tired set in. I probably should have GU'd at nine miles like I had originally planned, but the last three miles were the fastest of the day and they were on flat terrain. That is a good sign.
Ave Pace 8:46 Happy Running!
