Went to St Louis Community College at Florissant Valley today for an all-weekend-long USATF coaching certification. Some interesting stuff, but mostly just a long day. Met up with a woman who is a marathoner and running right about the same goal pace as me. We did 9 at lunch (her garmin shows splits as follows: 7:42, 6:52, 6:52, 7:10, 6:50, 7:00, 6:50, 6:45, 6:50). This gives me 6 miles at or below goal m-pace. The route was considerably hilly and cold (20 degrees) and very windy. Got another 6.8 -7.0 in at dinner. Her garmin wasn't picking up the signal though, so I google mapped as much of it as I could. Time for the second run was 51:10 (7:19-7:31). |
