This morning I decided to run a route with more hills, or in other words lots of hills. Sadly I did not break 200 feet in elevation but just 143 feet for 5 miles.I was kind of disappointed but oh well, I know those hills will help me during races and towards my goal of breaking 2:10:00 for the Evansville Half Marathon.
I ran the 5 miles in 50:19 with an average pace of 10:03 min/mile, not bad with 143 feet of elevation gain and 140 feet of loss. The temperature was beautiful at 63 degrees with humidity at 77%, NW winds at 5 mph.
My splits were:
Mile 1 - 11:02
Mile 2 - 10:13
Mile 3 - 10:11
Mile 4 - 9:43
Mile 5 - 9:07
Not bad, the last 2 miles were on pretty flat ground while the first 3 were extremely hilly so I am pleased to see that I still had the energy to pick up the pace after all that.
