Started at the church by Washington Damn Road and ran up to Coral Canyon and then back down. Made a few wrong turns that made for extra climbing....got to the top and noticed some guys running about 1/2 miles ahead and worked hard to catch them going down the Dogtown course. Finally at the bridge at the bottom of Washington Damn Road I caught Lindsey Pugmire and 3 others. I had to push the pace to catch them and then work hard to stay with them to the car. Last mile was 6:21 pace. Overall a very good run. Going up was hard and slow 8:45 pace and I ended up with 7:59 for the run. Legs and breathing feel awesome! Now I just need to get the right foot feeling better with the Neuromas. Really started hurting at 13 miles when I was done....I feel right now that I can PR Boston in 9 weeks if I can keep my foot under control
