22 miles, which I am listing under easy miles because I'm not sure where to put them. The pace was slower but they did not feel easy by a long stretch!! :) First 12 miles were FANTASTIC! Comfortable pace, with GREAT company: Ry, Fly, JohnnyV and Dave, on the beautiful BST. Nice hilly run with great conversation! With that said, whomever thought that course would be a good idea to start my 22 miler on was NUTZ! ;-) When those miles were complete Ry and JohnnyV immediately drove me to the entrance of the JRP (so about a 7-8 minute break) while I re-fueled. I then ran home, which unfortunately was directly south, which happened to be the exact direction the wind was coming from at 12-20 mph. Needless to say the wind and I are now sworn enemies. Thankfully, I was able to manage an 8:19 pace for those last 10 miles, which I feel really good about under those conditions. However, I honestly felt so beat up afterwards. Sigh ... I hope it will pay off at Boston. I'm a little worried that the 7-8 minute break and another 4 minute break on the trail (I ran into Andy D and we chatted a bit) may make this 22 miler not as effective as it would have been without those breaks. Anyways ... that's all. :) Oh ... and our house is under contract! I hope we find one in SG really soon!!! :) |
