Notes
Might need to reevaluate my goal for the half because I may have attained it in the last 13.1 of this long run. To be fair I stopped quite a bit because it was a new trail and we had to make sure we were going the right direction. Claire and I drove to Elm Creek Park Reserve which is only like 15 minutes away. Super pretty. Leaves are turning a little and the forest sections were sexy af. The park is huge. The paved trail goes in a loop around the park and one loop is like 14.5 miles. So I just went a little farther than one loop. Felt great the whole time. There were rolling hills for a big chunk of it which is why the pace went back and forth a bit. Tried to keep it quick but controlled enough to not bonk. Claire is a great long run buddy because she talks more than me which is nice. Took a constitutional break at 7.5 for like 5 minutes. Professor Poopypants strikes again. Maybe I’ll go for sub 1:19 now? Probably depends on how well I can stay injury free. So far so good.
