Today I ran my standard Satterfield hilly loop 11.1 miles at a 6:39 pace in 1:14. Into the 6th mile I was caught into a thunderstorm that made me do a mini tempo towards the end (6:17, 5:55,6:06,6:01) cool-down 6:25. I can't remember the last time I was this soaked, but it was a good soak because of the warm temperatures. My big toe is looking great with no more infection even after the rain soaking my feet.
I like this course because it's a challenge to get up the hill every week, and then you know how good your fitness is after you get up the to see how well your legs handle the flat part and the downhill part. |
