20 miles out and back from home along the I80 frontage road. Saw a herd of antelope right at the western edge of the international center, about 25. What the heck is that? Where did they come from? Do they swim over from antelope island? This is one of the few, maybe even the first run since about Christmas that was ice on the face free. Since January 6th, every weekend except one has been either a race or a 20 miler. I feel pretty good about my training so far, even though I was quite a bit off my PR's in the Winter Series races. This is my 5th 20 miler and I think it went well. I was able to do the last 5 pretty hard. My hamstrings are pretty torn up from all the hill running up and down the avenues. Hopefully the snow on the track will be melted by today and I can log some flat comfortable miles there instead of all hills all the time. My Garmin died at mile 19.95 and I still had a little over 2 blocks to go before I hit my driveway. So at mile 19.95 my time was 2:45:47 total ave for the run 8:19. 9:13 9:19 9:05 8:54 8:29 8:35 8:22 8:27 8:22 8:15 8:24 8:22 8:02 8:12 7:55 7:46 7:36 7:45 7:29 7:06. |
