new pr set on rolling, 1/2 gravel, 1/2 pavement course. windy, last 1/3 mile slight uphill with mod. strong headwind. Was not sure what to expect as have been training for HM in 3 weeks, and with no taper for this 8k. Just considering it as a tempo run. Did my LR for week 2 days ago. not fast by standards of many, but hey I'm pushing 55.

New: 35:37

Old: 36:59

Nice job. 7:04 pace that is fast by my standards.

Run until the trail runs out.

that should put you in a good spot to PR in the Half.

Very nice.

I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

This is great, skyedog. Chopping off 1 1/2 minutes on a windy is something to be proud of.

HM will be a PR no matter what since I have never run one. ha ha Have ran some races in past that were abit longer, 14, 15, 16, 26.2 range but no official 13.1. This will be longest race in over 28 yrs. Goal is 1:50, but secretly (not so secretly now) would like to beat this "kid" at work who ran 1 :45. My life will not end if I don't meet goal so if I come out of it having fun & injury free will be happy. What ? who am I kidding? Of course want to hit or beat goal.
