Parkside run today so that course is going to be a bit rough. Went at 6am with Bill to get some miles in before as Lighthouse is in just 3 weeks and I want to do some longer runs to prepare. There were actually alot of us at 6am this week as it was a great day and people are training for Lighthouse. Ran the roads for the first hour and got in 5.8 miles.

Then joined the group and ran the course. It rained yesterday so the grass was pretty wet and there were puddles in the low parts of the trails. Ran with Andy and Lorma (a new girl) for the first 3 or so, until you end up back in the open field again. I really didn't want to do that bill hill again, so I deviated off onto the roads and ran the outer loop towards Wood Rd. Started to get really tired and had to walk a bit at about 9 miles. Then walked/ran for the last mile or so just to get the 10 miles in.

Did the 10 miles in 1:43:21, not a great time at all. 3.1 mile splits were 32:34 (10:30 pace)[had a potty break at the first 0.5 mile and didn't stop the watch so that affected this time a bit]; 31:36 (10:11 pace); 32:09 (10:22 pace); and the last 0.70 mile was 7 minutes (10:02 pace). Overall probably pretty consistent in the 10:10-10:25 pace for each mile. Not great, but still working on the endurance.
