We drove from Redlodge Montana down to Britt's Grandma's house in Cowley Wyoming yesterday. Spent the day visiting Grandparents, fun fun.. We (Britt) wanted to get an early start out of town this morning so we could get back home. I wanted to do 10 miles this morning but for some reason it didn't get light until about 5:10 and I really didn't know where I was going and didn't want to run in the dark. I just started running out some dirt road, almost all the roads in Cowley are dirt, had no idea where the road went, how far it went but it was a great road, kind of rolling hills the whole way, on a nicely graded dirt road. Ran towards the sunrise for 30 minutes which came to 4.25 miles then turned around and went back for a total of 8.5. Still pretty easy pace today but not as slow as yesterday, tomorrow I think I'm going to do some old fashion treadmill running to see if I'm as out of shape as I think I am or if the unfamiliar running conditions I've been running the past 3 weeks have something to do with it. When I got back I asked Britt's Uncle how far that road went, he told me it would have taken me all the way to Billings. So like 50 miles, humm, Wyoming has some great long run locations. I can't find anything like that around here, long straight rollers with absolutely 0 cars for 50 miles, maybe I need to move to Wyoming. Glad to be home, I haven't slept in my own bed in 4 weeks. 8.5 miles in 1:03 7:27 avg pace. |
