Luke - 13.6

13.6mi, 1:40:36 (7:23)
What?
I was figuring today would be tough, after yesterday's super-hot time, so I did everything I could to make it a decent run: had a gel before leaving (as well as the usual one halfway), did the first three miles quick but not hard, and pushed pretty well going up Fox Hollow. I was hoping for a "really good" run of 57:xx for the first half and 47:xx for the second half, which I figured was pretty optimistic. Was right on schedule at the top of the hill, but I was feeling good so I pushed it coming down. For a second I was thinking I could beat yesterday's time even though I was two minutes slower for the first half. Did get kinda close! A hair under 5:50 pace the last three miles. I don't know how I did this...I guess tomorrow will be the rough day? Who knows, I keep surprising myself.
Three (3) pull-ups. Splits: 12:25, 14:47, 9:00, 7:04, 7:22, 3:24, 3:21 (57:26) / 3:20, 2:25, 5:49, 5:35, 6:14, 11:04, 8:40.
