Change of plans day today. I'd planned to do 10-12 this afternoon, but then found out I had a "mandatory" meeting at work (which half the team missed) at 1. So I went to the meeting. Then I decided to do 4 or 5 this afternoon, and the 10-12 tomorrow. I left the house a little before 4 to go to Ben Geren, planning to run one loop around the park perimeter, which is 4.4ish by car odometer. Ran it, felt pretty strong, and there was still daylight left, so I decided to run it again. Finished that loop, even faster than the first, and it was too late to run a third loop before dark, but I could run the gravel trail that I usually run. Ran that hard as well, then decided to jog a cooldown lap around the gravel trail.
Didn't have the Garmin (forgot to charge it), but I estimate that run as right at 12 miles, which I ran in 1:49:16. Splits were 40:30 for the first 4.4, 38:52 for the second 4.4, 13:33 for the hard lap on the trail, 16:21 for the jog lap. |
