Week Minus 14 - Distance


Target: 17 miles @8:45 pace
Actual: 17.2 miles @8:19 pace
Garmin Link

It snowed about half an inch this morning, but cleared up by noon. By the time Chris and I got on the road at 1:30 it was pretty nice out - about 30 degrees and sunny. Chris ran with me about 4.5 miles, then turned back - his first run in a few months, though he's a serious biker. The river path was mostly clear until I crossed over to the west side where it is shady. Had to run through the snow for about 2 miles, but it wasn't slippery and didn't slow me down too much. Turned around at 8.6 and retraced my steps back. Kept the pace at around 8:20 for most of the run, with four or five miles at right around 8:00. That is a relatively relaxed pace, but by the time I got back to work, was ready to stop. Ate Gu packs at 6 and 12 miles.
