Ran 20 through CC Park around the Dam and Over to the CC Bike Path to almost Illif, same route as 2 weeks ago.
Good Run, I felt better and my pace was about 20 seconds per mile on average faster than 2 weeks ago on the same route. It was cooler, I ran about the same time of day.
Averaged 8:25, about 45 seconds over Marathon goal pace. Mile 19 was over 9 because of the huge hill and fatigue, the rest were pretty much between 8:15 - 8:45, with a couple of fast downhill ones. This route is pretty hilly, which is good.
No problems with hips or Calfs. Took an Ice bath after.
Nice day for a run. I could see pikes peak several places during the run and I thought of my friends running the Ascent today. Jill, Jay, Matt, Craig and Bob. I said a little runners prayer for them. I'm sure they did great. I'll look up and post their results on the web site.
A wee bit of regret I wasn't running with them, but feel good about my long run and think I will recover quick.
20 Miles 2:48:26
Great job on your long run, Dennis. You gotta be reaping in relief about that and finally ready to concentrate on StG!
ReplyDeleteI thought about you not running with us, too...but remembered you crazily sigining up for the full and would be out there right now and really not with us yesterday ;). Ha. I'm glad you opted not to run and potentially mess up your leg more.
I am anxious to see how every's fall marathons go. I didn't realize Jay has never done one. Busy fall for you Prostates!
