I had to run a bunch of errands today and finish cleaning up the leaves (it took me over 4 hours!) Picking up the leaves would have taken longer but a great neighbor came over and helped. What a lifesaver! I am glad to have these done. The weather today was awesome so I was thrilled to go out for my run. I decided on a half marathon since I hadn't done one in a long time. I ran up towards North Ogden again with all of the rolling hills. It is the same route I did with James and Paul a couple of weeks again. I took the first 6.5 miles pretty slow and then wanted to push the last half. Here are my splits: 8- 5:47 = slight uphill and flat, 9- 5:21 = downhill and flat, 10- 5:39 = rolling hills and flat, 11- 5:35 = slight downhill and flat, 12- 6:11 = big uphill, 13- 5:56 = uphill and flat. I was really glad I got the legs moving again. This is the best workout I've done in a while. Total time was: 1:20:20 with an overall pace of 6:08/mile. I ended up taking first and last place today in this half marathon! The post race party consisted of raking up more leaves! Bummer! |
