Fairly hilly course. Was in a bit of pain (knee, ankle). Very satisfied to have finished in <2 hrs.
Good training for Steamtown..

First Track Workout

Running on a track is awesome. Never realized how great it really is - or how much I can use my height to get a good, long stride. I wasn't really sprinting, but I could hold 7:40mins/mile if I ran a 400-800-1200-800-400 with 200 m jogs in between. I am sure I can come down to 7 min miles on the track with some work.
