Three easy laps on the road loop around the tennis courts at Ben Geren. Garmin acting up, so used the old wristwatch for timing. I guess the pace was around 9:20; I just ran what felt comfortable. And for once, I wasn't along out there. Two women were out training circling the same loop in the other direction. Talked to one of them, who finished her 12-miler at the same time I finished my run. She said she was training for the half at Little Rock, and the other woman, who ran 20, was training for the full. Should have gotten her phone number, she was kinda cute. Married, I'm sure, though.
No idea what I'm gonna be able to do in Russellville tomorrow. First race since Toad Suck, so that's a long time out of the competitive saddle. I'll just try to run 7:00 pace and see what happens. Apparently the course is pretty flat, no traffic concerns, etc., so that's good. And the 12:30 start gives things a chance to warm up into the 40s. |
