Notes

Racecourse + 1 Loop (1050') with Dick A. Karen H. and Jim, awesome run. Brought a drink without the bottle carrier, so stashed it a distance before the end of the loop. That worked great, drank half my long distance mix, stashed again, and finished it with a few miles to go. I didn't work too too hard, but I may have run to fast. When I saw 1:00:47 at mile 8, I had to stick with the pace. It wasn't a big problem, I slowed in some sections and pushed the downhills. Just after the Reservoir, I ran into Steve P. Ray W. and Linda A., seemed like I flew past them without much effort. Still, I was able to power up the very last hills without going too hard. A casual cyclist turned on to Strong St. just as I did, and I led him the whole way to the school. Back at the cars, Bill T. and Maura B. were just finishing up a single lap run, and while I was out there Mark B. and Rob L. had run and left. I felt like a million bucks and was happily saying so. Just made it back to work in time to grab a bag of snow, insert into a trash can, and ice my feet. No water, just snow so only 5 min., twice on the right. Not the most efficient distribution of cold.My butt is very sore, and the whole right hip thing especially. It was clicking while I walked early this morning, hmm.
