Back to Cross Park tonight for a late run (start at 9:10). At first I planned seven laps, ore a little over four miles, but felt pretty good so kept going. Ended up doing 11 becaue that's what it was going to take to run for an hour. Ran for an hour and 14 seconds, 6.30 miles. Last 0.30 was at MP, probably more than that, but at least that much. Scared the heck out of one woman walking with her male companion firest time around. By the fifth or sicth time I passed them, they were both sitting still and used to me, but she screamed big time the first time around.
Ran with my new radio. Who needs a playlist? I had classic rock -- Genesis, Zep, The Who, Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steve Miller, Fleetwood Mac, The Kinks, Tom Petty, Jethro Tull, Jefferson Airplane and probably a couple more I'm forgetting. I couldn't come up with a much better list than that. And only two commercials in the whole hour. Sweet.
Tonight got me over 50 miles -- for the month. Further reason not to try to run CIM. I'm getting back into the swim, but I'm not gonna be ready to run 26.2 fast in nine weeks. |
