2:42:00 Ran with the St. George Running Center, Steve Hooper Abraham Lincoln Annual trail run. Overall a good run for a trail. A couple of big hills that I decided not to run but walk fast. So I walked about 3 1/2 miles worth of hills, and still ended up with 9:28 pace which included water break etc. I slightly rolled my ankle as I was looking ahead to see 4 guys about 2/3 mile ahead and was concentrating on them to see if I could somehow catch them. After the roll, I started cramping from the quick reaction. I could only run about 1/2 mile before I would start to cramp and had to stop and walk it out a bit then run again til another cramp. I was keeping around 7 minute miles when I was running which was too fast for cramping but I just wanted to get finished. Ended up as the 15th runner to finish the run out of approx. 50 runners. |
