Notes
Awesome run with Helen and Billy! Started at the Buxton Trailhead and went out alittle past Tophill and back. Trail had snow on it still which made it difficult for footing. It wasn't completely a mess though and somehow we managed a good pace on the way back. The plan was to do a 12 mile progression run with the last 6 miles at Marathon Race pace or faster. The wildnerness looked pretty neat with snow on the ground. First 6 miles were covered in 48:22 (slightly uphill, snow) and the last 6 miles was covered in 40:20, 6:48 avg. pace (with Helen). I ran with Billy for the first 3 miles of the tempo back and then dropped back and paced Helen for the next 3. Billy ended up running 6:10, 6:10, 5:45 for his last 3 miles and finished strong. My hips hurt a bit the last few miles which wasn't good. Might have to consider seeing a chiropractor again or something.
