I had a 10 mile training run today for which I paid $25 and got a tech shirt. It was called the Kutztown (PA) Fools Run and was supposed to be a fairly easy out and back with not too much elevation change. Well, surprize! They had to change the route for construction and put what felt to me like long monstrous hills out at 3, 5 and 7 miles.
I was hoping to run it in 8 minute miles, but I'm quite happy with the 9 M/M I actually ran. The second half felt fine after I got up the last hill and it was actually a really nice run, with sunshine and not too much breeze.
The route would have been OK for BF except it was still covered with gravel from recent snow sanding. My VFF Bikilas served me well.
After a couple hours of recovery (otherwise called a nap) I was feeling fine. Legs and feet were moving quite well and I'm pretty happy overall. I now have 30 days to get into better shape for my HM on May1. Woowee!
