16 Miles in right at 1:52:00 on a cold morning of 31 degrees...down by the river.
Great run this morning, crossing over the Two Rivers Bridge into the North Little Rock side of Two Rivers Park; followed River Trail west to exit of park, then north briefly past some beautiful horse farms to Pinnacle Valley Rd.; west on Pinnacle Valley Rd to the back entrance of Pinnacle Valley State Park, where I climbed for about a mile to a beautiful, scenic overlook. Turned around and headed back along the same route.
Four-Mile pace splits were 7:05/mile, 7:14/mile (uphill), 6:54/mile (downhill), and 6:47. Felt pretty good about the negative splits.
Looking forward to a nice, easy 18-miler tomorrow with my father, Mark, who's training his tail off for Boston (he's never run a marathon where he didn't set a PR...okay, so he's only run two, but that's still pretty impressive).
