20 miles from Smithfield to Hyde Park, back up to Smithfield and Smifield Canyon.
Really did well at the first. I went out too fast. Miles 1-4 lost 300 feet in elevation to Hyde Park, averaging aroud 6:50/mile. Then went north up Smithfield Canyon, gaining 800+ feet for the next six miles. Turned around and went back. At 17 miles the Garmin was at 7:25/mile. The last 3 slowed way down - (gaining the 300 ft in elevation I lost at the first of the run), and ended up with a 7:39/mile average.
We'll see how Boston goes. Got my bib # yesterday (3089). I may just run it as a fun run...we'll see how my left knee and the outside of my right foot holds out. |
