At Delano park with Eric, Eric, and Bob, 50 degrees, overcast, light wind. The two Erics and two other runner friends will be running the Delano 12 Hour (relay division) in two weeks hopeing to eclipse the 100 mile mark. Bob will also be running, teaming up with 3 other runners from 3M. This is the 2nd year Eric and I have put on this race, it's really a great day of running and then a lot of eating.
7 loops of Delano(53:24--7:38 pace) starting with a 8:27, 7:51, 7:39, 7:48, 7:15, 6:10, then a cool down of 8:14. We all ran together for 5.75 miles then the pace quickened and we got spread out. I was planning to drop down to about a 6:45 pace for the 6th mile, but I felt pretty good, so I ran how I felt.
I've got four 12 hour work days ahead of me this week. I'll really need some motivation to get me out the door to run on those days. My wife Kelly ran another 4.75 miles at Wilson Morgan today. Two big milage days for her, I'm really proud of her. |
