Had a pretty good run today and Kim did too with her 20-miler. Parked the van across from Will's then I drove with Kim up to Trefoil and dropped her off. (What kind of husband drops his wife off out in the boonies and drives away!? Hey it was Kim's idea and at least it was light by that time! Also lots of runners out today.) Driving from Trefoil to Vivian Park I ran over a sharp rock in the road and got a dang flat tire! Aargh! Oh well it ended up not being a big deal to change the tire and didn't mess up the run or the day. Did a 6-mile warmup, start at Vivian run down 1 mile then up 5 miles up to Trefoil passing Kim along the way. Some guy said there was a baby moose up ahead but I never saw it. After turning around at the top it was time for some MP or slight faster miles. I was feeling pretty good today and was pleased with the run. Finally that pace is starting to actually feel something like MP. Was only planning on 10 faster miles but extended it to 11 before finishing up with a 1/2 mile jog and some walking. Overall: 17.5 miles, AP 7:35, AHR 171 max 188 Splits for fast miles: 1 - 6:38/167 (miles 1 and 4 are the steepest of the run, 2 and 3 pretty steep also but with some rolling) 2 - 6:43/175 3 - 6:55/179 4 - 6:37/179 Drink and GU at Vivian 5 - 7:06/179 (mostly flat mile) 6 - 6:57/183 7 - 6:56/185 8 - 6:57/184 9 - 7:01 /186 Drink and GU 10 - 6:57/184 Long stop at traffic light 11 - 7:05/178 |
