Got up at 5:30am this morning to make a pre-dawn 6:30am run with the UA Wildcat Running Club.
Today's mission was a 20 miler on the path along the river starting at St. Philips Plaza (corner of Campbell and River).
Temperatures were in the mid to upper 40s, overcast with a slight threat of rain. The normally dry Rillito River was flowing deep and fast. We've had quite a bit of rain in the last few days.
I was in survival mode in the 2nd half of the run as the Nike+ graph indicates:
I'm glad I managed to make the run. On my own, I doubt if I'd have the willpower to go the distance.
On the other hand, I'm a bit disappointed with my mediocre pace. I'm about 5-7lbs heavier than I should be.
(The computed kcal figure is therefore an underestimate.)
I feel my carrying extra pounds is a big factor. Running is so weight dependent.
