Today's Hour Run

Run #2 of the week is done, and it was a pretty good one. I started on 96th St. and headed north on the Monon. I wanted to make this a faster run, and I think I did a good job.

Mile 1 - 14:14
MIle 2 - 14:35
Mile 3 - 14:49
MIle 4 - 15:23

Yes, I got slower, but I kept my overall pace below 15:00, which was a goal today.

The trail was fairly busy. There was the usual runners, walkers, bikers, and then there was my arch nemesis....the evil snake. Yes, one of those nasty black things slithered across the trail near the Monon Center. Note to self....no camping around the Monon Center.  I know it plotted against me, but the coward that it is got off the trail.

At the turn around point I felt good, and just wanted to keep the pace I had going. That went well until the last mile. I was running a bit low on energy. Note to self...get Gu and take water or NUUN.

Overall I am pleased with today's run.
