Got to bed by 9am and woke up at 3am feeling quite refreshed. I read for an hour and then drove over to the high school and was running by 4:30am. Ran from the high school over to Clyde's and then did our tempo loop. Almost got ran over by three deer drinking in the stream. Freaked me out because it was pitch black and unexpectedly came on to then. I went up towards Pine View High and then back down by Maverick and caught back on to the trail. Made it to Clyde's and then ran back to the school for a solid 21 mile run. I averaged 7:02/mile. It has been a while since I've done a 20 mile let alone one all by myself. The temps were perfect and it was great to just run and think about a lot of different things. Happy to get a solid week of running in. Dave and Trevor are already trash talking for the coach's mile on Tuesday. It should be interesting to see what I can run. |
