Gulf hill -- Thu. Mar. 10

Having again missed a regular day, on Wed., took drastic measures: home after morning classes for a good run before going back for evening classes. Needing 20 before Saturday, figured I could get 13 and still be sharp for the evening. 久しぶりに wanted to go up Gulf, so did that route, figuring the downhill end would be nice too. Here's the route: Hamilton, Allen, 9, Federal - 5 slow start miles; Gulf - 3 hill miles; Packardsville, Gold, Munsell and 202 - 5 fast miles; then round to 9 and home on a slow down mile, ending thus:

Time: 1:45:12
Distance: 14.05 miles
Pace: 7:29s

Comment: Felt *great* to do the fast finish, or at least the opening two (7:11 and 7:12) and then the first two downhill (6:30s), but at about 12.5 miles it felt like hitting a wall. . . somehow I kept it to 6:35, so a good result enfin.
