I started the day by running the normal Wednesday hills with Kurt and Kent. Once we started up the hill Kurt took off. I think Kent and I pushed pretty good, but it was no PR. We took it easy back down. We had to watch our footing through the torn up road down 1600 N, but held a pretty good pace. I didn't kick too hard because I was planning to run again at noon. At noon, I went out with Cory to do the Lake View run across the freeway from Novell. We saw several huge trees that had been uprooted by the storm yesterday. We then noticed the downed power pole laying near the gate at the end of the trail. We cut through a yard and discovered that there were quite a few down power lines and poles, with lots of crews working to repair them. The main street was blocked off so we had to weave through some side streets. Rather than come back that way, we went north and then east under the freeway and worked our way back to Novell. Cory's GPS said we went just over 5 miles. With all the stopping early on, it was hard to figure our average pace, but I think it was around 7:40/mi. |
