Got up and drove up Butterfield Canyon a couple of miles for a big workout, at least big for me. I wanted to hit 10 miles at 6 min. pace or better. My first 10 was great, 5:50 pace around 36:10. Then I hit some good uphill and a stiff South wind in the next few miles that slowed me down a little. My first mile was 6:02, Mile 7 was 6:08, and mile 9-10 were 6:16 and 6:30, the other 6 were under 6 min pace. I ended up with a 59:42 for the 10 miles. Felt pretty good, still a touch congested though, and it got warm quick. The wind the last 2 miles kicked my butt! This was a great run for me overall though. |
