This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

August 14th ~ Arrow

This is the sign at the Las Llajas Trailhead.


Arrows indicate who has the right of way.


I ran the trail this morning.  My plan called for 5 miles of hills. I drove to the trail, something I don't usually do, but I wanted to do all my running on the trail this morning.  It's basically uphill for the first half, with one stinger at the very end.



I was hoping for about a 12 minute pace, here's how it went:

Mile #1:  11:02
Mile #2:  12:27
Mile #3, first half:  6:28 (12:56 pace)
Over all pace for the first half: 11:59

I turned around at 2.5 miles, so the second half was downhill:  5:14 (10:28 pace)
Mile #4:  10:41
Mile #5:  11:39

Total 5.03 miles in 57:54, 11:30 pace.

This was my first good run in a week.  My leg isn't completely healed, but definitely getting better.
