Pretty good run this morning. I ran up in the east Medford hills for 4 miles, then west past Red Robin and to the west side of the freeway. South until Barnett, then east to North Phoenix rd. I was at 10 miles at that point, so I ran south to Home Depot and back to finish off the run at 15 miles. After the first 5 miles I decided to push the pace every-other mile. First 5 miles were right @ 7:00/mile average, then splits were as follows (hard mile / easy mile recovery): - Miles 6 & 7 (5:28 / 6:41)
- Miles 8 & 9 (5:27 / 6:57)
- Miles 10 & 11 (5:19 / 6:57)
- Miles 12 & 13 (5:18 / 7:07)
- Miles 14 & 15 (5:26 / 6:48)
I was able to work the karma angle again today. As I was passing Hope Depot, a guys load of particle boards had slid out of his truck and despite being right in the middle of the intersection, no one stopped to help (I saw at least 10 vehicles pass right by). I ran over to him and helped load them back into his truck and he went on his way. Good stuff. Rotterdam (504)
