I ran the bagel run 10 mile yesterday. It's been three weeks since my last one. I really liked doing the same run I've done many times and catching up with a few running friends.
This was also my last long run becuase of two bike rides, Tour du Port and Hilly 100. Returning to a long distance run was welcome. My splits were:
1 9:55, 2 9:35, 3 9:22, 4 9:26, 5 9:59,
6 9:34, 7 10:30, 8 11:07, 9 11:31, 10 11:18

I ran with a friend until mile 6. We worked out some stresses I've been having at my job. His perspective was helpful.
After my friend took a shorter route back to the start, I slowed down, running by myself for the last 4 miles. I was still pleased -- I'm not fast and an overall average of 10:10 is just what I needed after 3 weeks.
Mitchell,
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate your bagel runs. Great way to check in with your friends back east! Those are strong miles and you always seem to do well on these bagel runs! --Well done. -- Bill
