Well my watch is not working so when it does I will provide my splits but today was the fastest 14 miler I have probably ran since my College days back in the flat frozen tundra of Brookings South Dakota. The day ended up being pretty nice compared to what the weather reports stated although the wind picked up the last two miles drastically like the forcast stated. I started out with the group and ran the first 6 miles with everyone then the group started to fracture and split up into each persons individual workouts. At mile 6 some people started their 6-3x2 minute fartleks at 10k pace where I'm sticking to what worked for me last year a 6 mile goal pace run. Even though these miles were not all at the same times I tried to keep the effort level equal between the ups and downs on the course which I have provided the route map below. My overall mile average pace was 7:03/mi which is defintely faster then last years workout. I know the first mile was around 8:24 so I was definietly flying on the way back to get that avearge to drop almost a minute and half in just 14 miles.
