Notes
I set out on a 10 mile run with Hugh. I was feeling pretty good considering I had run a 5K and we didn't start our run for an hour. I ran the first mile with Hugh and then decided that I wanted to pick up the pace. He wasn't feeling as great so I went ahead.
I ran from Flat Branch park to the MKT and then the spur. The low water crossing had water rushing over it. I really wanted to go that way and it was only a little over ankle deep so ran through it. There was a lot of mud coming out of it too. I decided to try to make a 12 mile route since I thought I would have a little extra time. I went up the hill on Campusview behind Grand Cru. Then onto Grindstone, and down old 63. Since a game day I decided to stay off the roads and went back to the trail. I decided to take the trail up behind Mizzou Arena since I thought going back the way I came would be too long. I wasn't thrilled about running through all the tailgaters which caused me to run faster. I ran under the tunnel through campus and back to the park. Hugh finished about a minute after I returned.
I was really happy with my splits and how I felt strong during this run.
