| | I'm in Appleton, WI this morning. Elevation only about 700 feet. 56 degrees, flat. I,d call that ideal and an opportunity not to be missed. So, I got out onto strange roads this morning and ran 6.29 in 52:22, or 8:20/mile. Splits were 9:39, 8:12, 8:06, 7:54, 7:51, 8:12, and 8:12. Brian and Charlotte are having a second wedding reception today. So we are in vacation mode | | Add Comment |
| | Back home. Ran up and down Provo canyon for a very nice run: 7.18 miles in 1:01:29 or 8:34/mile with these splits: 9:15, 8:52, 8:49, 8:41, 8:29, 8:10, 7:54, 7:28. It may be the first time I've been successful in increasing my speed with each mile. I definitely had increased energy due to all the rest I've had this week. | | Add Comment |
| | Two hard runs in a row and heat makes a difference. When I started my run up the canyon, it was 54 degrees. When I finished, it was 80 degrees. That's up by 26 degrees during the 1:46:19 that it took me to run 12.08 miles, which averages 8:48/mile. I drank twice on the trip, but I still lost 3.5 pounds of fluid and am still in recovery mode from the run. | | Add Comment |
