Back to McLean for another attempt at running harder than usual.  Managed 3.5-miles in 36:56.


Monday, March 9, 2020

After ridding part of my basement of old insulation early-on, I felt like attempting to run somewhat hard.  I went to the old "speed-work" route at McLean, 3.3-miles, with a decent climb in the first half-mile.

My splits are as follows:

Segment 1 @ Large Oak                 10:53 / 10:53
Segment 2 @ Side-Trail                   10:40 / 21:33
Segment 3 @ Three-Way                  7:48 / 29:21
Segment 4 @ Finish                          2:42 / 32:03

Very satisfied for the effort (9:43 pace per mile) after a physical morning doing chores, on a hilly trail route.
