Forgot the Garmin today, so mileage is based on markings on the Fayetteville trails and time by the clock on my cellphone. Started out at 12:58 and decided to run 13 or so. Got to the approximate turnaround point, looked down at the cellphone and it had been one hour. So I decided to convert it into the old hour-out run, which I haven't done in a while -- run out for one hour at a decent clip, try to run back faster than I ran out. It worked, too. Got back to the car at 2:55. My guesstimate on the mileage is 13.3, but it could be a tenth or so either way. That works out roughly to 8:48 pace, not bad a day after a hard, hilly 5K. One thing I know -- it was COLD and got colder. Current windchill as I type this is 17. That may be a little bit warm. It was cold and the wind was HOWLING. Fortunately not too much of it was dead into the wind, mostly the first two miles, when I was cold anyway because I hadn't gotten the old heat engine going yet. Mostly was a crosswind as I ran north-south on the trails. |
