Did a good firm run near marathon pace, the hilly route towards Morris and back...

1-mile warm-up:  9min pace

5-miles towards Morris:  35:13 (7:03 pace)

- 2 minute walk-

5-miles back towards the gym:  34:26 (6:53 pace)

 

Felt pretty good, having done 2 races last week.  My body's beginning to recover quickly.  Also, might light trainers are feeling quite comfortable in longer distances.

Did a nice hilly section towards Goshen, 12 miles @ 7:29 pace...here's the splits:

7:42,7:40,7:09,8:11,8:08,7:45,7:16,7:09,6:50,8:23,7:22,6:50

I'm trying to take my current weakness head on- charging big hills.  Although today's run wasn't a "hard" effort, I definitely pushed a very firm pace.

Ran a 20-miler with Ed today through the hills.  We ran the first 12 and stopped 2-minutes back at my house for gatorade and then finished off the last 8 for a total of 20 miles in 2:42:02 (8:06 pace).  This was my first 20-miler since last March, so I was very happy to get this one in.  Very uncomfortable after 15 miles, yet we got it done!
