Notes
We usually have the alumni race every Saturday after Thanksgiving, but this year due to some bureaucratic bullshit (the school claimed we were running the race on their property and thus needed an expensive insurance policy for the race even though we were starting from a public track; they can fuck off) we just did a run today. So my friend wanted to do this one run we did commonly in high school, Bush Hill, in under 45 minutes, which would be like low 6's pace I think. He's been talking about doing this for like the past month so it's been planned for a while. We took it out a little hard, 5:50 first mile, and then we got to the hill. We slowed down a little but I don't think by too much. The last hill before the top sucked but then again that hill always sucks. When we reached the downhill, like 3 or 4 miles in, I flew down the hill and then kept a solid pace for the last 2 or 2.5 miles of mostly flat back. I must have closed pretty hard because of the average pace. I know it's not exactly what was on the schedule for this weekend but it was a cool thing to do. Long run's gonna suck tomorrow.
