We started out with Traci (who did 10), a new guy named Brian, Daryl, a gal named Nicole, & Jayson at 6:30am. We hit a lot of hills on the outskirts of Crockett Park. The park itself really isn't that hilly but once you're out of it in the 'hoods & near Ravenood High School, watch out. They ate me alive on the later miles. We dropped fluids at the high school & we hit that area every 5 miles or so much like last week. Carmel has some hills but not like this so I'm A OK with the pace even though it wasn't 9 or under. You can tell from my splits where we were hanging at the water stops & where I was climbing hills later in the run. I am proud of this run simply because I was able to push the last two miles down & it's only been 4 weeks since the New Orleans Marathon. I don't stop my garmin on training runs. The clock doesn't stop during a race so why should it on training runs?
