Last week, Wendy had told me they were planning 15 miles for today, so I was prepared. Ended up just being Maureen and myself and it was her last long run before SGM. We started out slow and it was dark, the trail was muddy and the 7th street bridge access is a mess. We ran out 6 on the trail and then headed back 2 miles, up Baily and then to the store and a few miles in the park. I took a gel at mile 8 and ended up with two POP stops - mile 9 and mile 12. We both messed up our garmins and tried to do math and run...never a good idea for me and that is how we ended up with 16.2. It was an absolutely beautiful morning and I felt great. Avg Pace 8:54.
