We had an excellent run for practice today. We did a loop that took us from Foothills Park out on the paved trail to Butterfield Park, up Emmeline and Muirwood to the Res and down Juniper Crest. We cruised along pretty good for all being sore and trashed from yesterday and our track workout. We pushed hard up the big hills and pushed it hard down the last stretch. we were sub 7:pace going up to the Res and then 5:21 down Juniper Crest and 4:40 pace for the last half mile; all aided terrain of course but it still was fast and hurt! 7.5 miles in 53:30 (7:08 ave pace). I added another .7 running to and home from the park. |
