I decided to go ahead and take Rocky on this run, the original plan was 12 miles but I made a very big mistake.............. no body glide. But, to the beginning - I got up at 3:30 AM, realized I didn't have coffee cream so I had to drink some coffee black (blehck) and we were out the door by 3:48 AM.
It was 64 degrees with 100% humidity and a dew point around 62%, which might explain my chafing issues. I didn't realize this until mile 2 though, and the next 8 miles were painful.... I decided 10 miles would have to be enough for us.
We saw a fox, smelled lots of dead things.. saw lots of debris (there was a huge storm Friday that produced a tornado or 2). Not much more than that, Rocky did really good and I am glad I took him as we're going to be stuck in a van for about 5 hours today.
We ran 10 miles in 1:41:24 with an average pace of 10:08 min/mile, elevation gain of 191 feet and a loss of 189 feet. Not bad, and no pain in my legs!
Laps/splits were:
Mile 1 - 10:51
Mile 2 - 10:48
Mile 3 - 10:42
Mile 4 - 10:25
Mile 5 - 10:18
Mile 6 - 9:58
Mile 7 - 10:08
Mile 8 - 9:47
Mile 9 - 9:34
Mile 10 - 8:52
Look at those splits man! Haven't seen anything like that in a couple of weeks. Now for a shower, coffee, out to breakfast and then on the road to Tennessee for a week!!!
