I should just round that up to 16 miles. Ran the West Side Potpourri run with Locomotion. This route is actually one of my least favorite Loco runs - it's almost always windy, usually cold, and the streets are just busy enough to be uncomfortable. That being said, today wasn't such a bad day. I ran 16 miles (see? I rounded.) with several sloooow miles, one really fast (6:10) mile, and lots of decent miles in the 8:10ish/mile range. Kent and I ran together over the final seven miles. I've always enjoyed running with Kent - he's pretty darned fast, and always gets me to push the pace a bit. Today when I was feeling like I was just about done Kent encouraged me to run with him, and I managed to crank out another four miles.
There's no doubt in my mind that I'll be able to complete the Canyonlands Half Marathon in a few weeks. The only question that remains is if I'll be able to hit my goal time: 1:45. GPS Output: http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/5026593 |
