I ran on the same trail that I have been running on for the majority of this week, except that I ran on the trail for much longer than the other days this week. I actually made it to the end of the trail, and then had to run about 2 miles further on some streets near the highway that goes down to santa cruz before turning around and coming back. I was going uphill most of the way out, including some monster hills near the dam, and I finally started heading downhill just past the fire station, and I got distracted, so I turned around a little late (thus the extra quarter mile). I pushed the pace a little harder on the way back, and was consistently hitting sub 6:00 pace despite 90 degree heat. I turned around at 1:08:20, and I finished at 2:08:27. |
