1:14:55/158
Ran 10 mi (16 km) at Barker track. (The link is to the Google satellite view.) It rained for most of the 40 laps. The time includes one bio break, causing me to complete the first lap in 2:33, and a tenth mile at an increasingly faster pace. I started the last 4 laps at 1:08:38 and kept increasing the pace until I finished at a sprint.
My intention is to have this count for both today and tomorrow's run, since we're flying back to France tomorrow, and so I won't really have time to run Wednesday. Tomorrow I ought to run 4 hill repeats as planned for Wednesday.
This run was going to be at Krueger. Dana thought maybe they had an asphalt track. Instead it turned out when I drove over there that not only was it also a cinder track, but furthermore there was a drum and bugle corps practicing on the football field in the middle of the track. So I went back over to Barker. Had plenty of small cinders in my shoes by the time I finished. The track at what used to be Elston High School looks more promising, but I imagine it's not open to the public.
