16 miles on the Katy Trail, starting at the Page Extension parking lot and running southwest 8 miles, then returning. Walked about 2 miles afterwards while waiting for Judy to finish up. Was a bit muggy, but not quite as bad as Saturday. About 74F at the starting time of 7:15, about 80F when done. There was a bit of a breeze from the north that helped a little on the way back. Fairly consistent run, wth the first 11 miles being between 10:11 and 10:44, with the 10:44 being a shot block mile. Mile 12 was another shot block mile at 11:03, then I ran 10:39, 11:03, 11:28 and 11:07 to finish. The last 3 miles had several walk breaks as I was getting tired, warm, and my heart rate was creeping up. Average heart rate for the whole run was 158, but I was pushing 170 a number of times late in the race.
16 miles in a total of 2:50:35, for an average pace of 10:39, another 16er planned for next week. |
