After driveways, I had some time and my shoes, so I did a hard run on Bntfl. Blvd. That road has plenty of hills. I pushed hard the whole time, and got the miles in in 68 minutes. That's a 7:15 pace, overall. I'll count them as fast, since that pace is under my goal marathon pace. I've got the week from hell coming up at work (preceded by two other weeks from hell), so I wanted to be sure to get a good run in before they start eating up 16 hours of my day. No ipod. No garmin. It was weird to listen to my scraping shoes and hard breathing for that long. The temp was great, low 40's. Air quality was pristine. Too bad the valley view was mostly obstructed by poorly designed McMansions. |
