Total time of 1:14:09. I got lost. The watch claimed a distance of 9.49 miles, so I will estimate the run to be 9.65 miles. Edit: I was curious enough about the distance that I mapped it out on the course tool, and it ended up measuring at about 9.67-9.68, so my estimation was almost right on. As I prefer to round my run distances I will just leave it at 9.65.
I had looked at a map breifly before I left to go running, and unfortunately I forgot the name of one of the streets I needed to turn on, and I went in the wrong direction for a while. I eventually figured out where I was at, and started heading back home, however the run ended up much longer than I had planned (6 miles planned). To top it off, I had been heading downhill while running the wrong way, which meant I had to head back uphill again to get home. I gained about 400 ft net elevation from 6-8 miles going from about 5200 ft to 5600 ft. There were a few short downhill stretches during that two mile segment, so I actually had more climbing than just the 400 ft elevation change. I had over 1000 ft total elevation gain during the run. Over the last few miles I was running pretty slow because I was trying to not push myself too much, as I have not finished a run this long at least since early 2014, and maybe since mid 2013. My legs felt pretty tired at the end of the run.
