Another weekend of lots of running. John, Jason and I met up on Saturday for 2 runs in the Fort Mill/Baxter area. Lots of hills! John shows up with over 20 under his belt from Friday alone! Martin wasn’t far behind. I slacked again for 4.6 in the heat of the day.
- Friday 4:30pm: 4.6 mile run – neighborhood perimeter run.
- Sat 5:30am: 8.5 mile run – Dam Road Loop – monster hill!
- Sat 7:30am: 6.5 mile run – More Fort Mill hills.
- Sun 7:30am: 4.0 mile run.
- Sunday 2:30pm: 4.6 mile run in the neighborhood.
Now Jason M. ran something like 65 miles and about 40 into it he ran a 1/2 marathon at 1:34 pace. Unbelievable. Maybe this is why the BRR Race organizers think we deserve to be seeded with a 7:30/mi pace. As of now we start at 10am. Hoping the 7:30 pace was a mistake and we can get moved closer to where we averaged with 4 last year (9:00+ min pace). Oh well, if not at least we get some extra zzzs.
Next weekend we plan to add at least 1 run and another 5-7 total miles and the following weekend looking to run fit in 6-7 runs across 2-3 days nearing 35-40 miles.
Somehow during a gold weekend I need to figure out how to get like 8 runs in between the 4 rounds we are playing…Might be running from shot to shot at this point.
