Met Rhett out at SARA Park to run the Watershed Trail again this Saturday. It was a bit warm the first 4 miles with temps rising quickly with the sun coming up. Once we made the climb up the mountain and got into the valley on the west side the wind changed. We ran out in the wind then climbed and made basically a 180 around the mountain and the wind shifted and was blowing even harder but at least it was shady in the valley. We ran some really quick miles from 4 through 7 and finished strong. Overall it ended up being a 1 minute PR on the course making it to the gate in 1:14:02 averaging a 7:51/mi. Great Run and the shins did not hurt at all on the run and I have been icing today along with swimming with the boys, made lunch, and off to a birthday party to wrap up the afternoon. |
