Run: Sandstone Ranch (8.02 mi @ 07:46)
Done with calling these attempts. They are runs once again. Snowed last night but not on the streets. Hit a totally paved route to keep out of the mud. Hoped that the extra pounding wouldn’t cause issue. Didn’t seem to. Stiff out of the start but loosened up after 2 miles and was able to clip off some mid 7s miles including a 7:20 split. Not too shabby. Pain kind of numbs out and the foot isn’t totally in the game. Guessing a downhill trail run at this level might show the weakness as I try to maneuver quickly. Called it at 8 miles because I had the appointment shortly thereafter.
I went 8.02 miles with an elevation gain of 205 feet in 01:02:26, which is an average pace of 07:46. Heart rate average was 148. View my GPS data on Garmin Connect.
