The first longish run of the week. After running 8 miles as part of the Summer Cross Country Race series last night, it was time again to do a longer run and hit some hills while at it. I met up with Rich at 5:30 AM and we headed to the dreaded Drake Ave hills. Richard proved to be smarter than me, turning around to head home after we reached the 3.5 mile mark at the corner of Drake and Garth. Unfortunately, I wasn't as smart, instead continuing on Drake Ave all the way to the top before turning left and looping back onto Garth and Drake before turning back to the Five Points area via Whitesburg and California. I ended up logging close to 10 miles at an easy pace. Thankfully, I had no problems and issues as a result of the LV ultra this weekend and so the 100 mile race training continues...
