Saturday was 18 miles of fun on a very hilly course through some pretty nice parts of Kansas City. This route takes you through some of the very high end mansions which house families with the last names of Block, Helzberg and Kaufmann which are all owners of companies named after them or former owners major league sports teams. The homes are rediculous and one was for sale for $15million and below is a link to the map my run site for this route.

The weather was amazing for the first week of February 34 at the start and finishing temps in the 40's. At the start there were a couple of slick spots but then it was pretty smooth sailing besided the hills. We have been doing this slow first 1mile then a little fast 2nd mile then finally hitting pace about mile three. Today this was driving me crazy the first around 9 the second a little faster then we started hitting 7:05/mi pace for quite a few miles but when you start so slow your average time is jacked up. My average was 7:33/mi on my watch and that is using auto pause at thrughout the run. I finished with Terry who perfers to use the manual stop button and his average was 7:26/mi. The total difference in our running time using the two various functions was quite supprising at approximately 1:30. My watch read 2:15:++(mid) and his was at 2:13:++ (low). Either way with the hills that we ran and the first 2 super slow miles that is a pretty darn good average and if I through out those first two miles I'm sure the average would be in the low 7's. I may just have to figure that out if I ever find some time.
Splits: 9:03, 8:08, 7:38, 7:34, 7:10, 7:34, 7:05, 7:24, 7:28, 7:12, 7:38, 7:33, 7:35, 7:37, 7:25, 7:19, 7:03, 7:33
