Training Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 35:30
Pace: 8:52 min/mi

Comments: The plan was to hit the Skyline Trail for six miles at pace. Torrential rains made that impossible as the river was flooded levee to levee. It also nixed a morning effort. But I wanted to have something done before kickoff this afternoon.

I got out just after noon and put in a four mile training run. Went a reasonably fast pace but the real kicker was hills. There was just over 200 feet of climb that took 15% of the effort. Not particularly pleasant but probably not a bad idea to get used to as the marathon course has a few.
