Notes
Awesome long run with Helen at Banks/Vernonia. Perfect weather and blue skies to run in, in late october! Started at the Buxton trailhead and went towards Vernonia. Kept it easy on the bark chip trail almost the entire first half of the run. Also had the gradual uphill for the first 5 miles. Second half, ran the rest of the way on the pavement and slowly picked up the pace. Stayed with Helen for the first two miles then pulled away and ran my own pace. Last 3 miles I was really going fast and it felt completely comfortable and fun!!! Definately well under 6 min pace. Feels good to be back from the break!
