16.25 Miles AP 6:36: Met a group at South Mountain in Phoenix which was a nice change for me. This is a pretty hilly route and usually a tough run. Today was no exception. We were going a decent clip for 10 miles and then a couple of the guys picked it up for a fast finish. I was dropped at that point and I couldn't have gone with them if I wanted to. I was already tired. As we were getting dropped we ran a 6:04 so we decided to take it down a notch. The last couple of up hill miles were tough for me but I was able to recover and run the last couple down hill miles in 11:15. This was a solid run today but definitely tough. It's my longest run since the marathon last month. |
