Notes
Today started out with 10 of the Lunatics on the 18 is enough route on the trail which was quite icy. I sort of shuffled for the first mile. Once I got to the trail spur conditions improved quite a bit. Mostly stayed over to the side if the trail wasn't clear and didn't really slow me down much since my warm up mile was faster than usual. I had to stop for a bathroom break at Bethel park which took a few minutes. I think I stuck to the course except I did not run the loop off Mill Creek. Instead I kept going on Mill Creek and ran around on some gravel trails in some new park and then headed back to Vawter School Rd. I could see some people ahead of me. I passed Brett and was 1.3 miles ahead of him based on his GPS so I guess I added some extra miles on my detour. I passed Hugh and Dale. Stopped for a quick drink at Scott Blvd and followed the course until Rollins and kept going rather than turning on College Park. I ran around the West Blvd area and then headed back to Stadium. Most everyone else that had run 18 just finished so worked out great. Probably just as well I ran alone since due to my extended bathroom break at Bethel Park.
The last time I had a run this fast was in June when I ran the 2 loop 20 at 7:28 pace for 21 miles. I slowed up the hills though but had some good miles and finished strong. Felt good when finished like I could run at least 6 more miles.
