Dark Morning at McAlpine

Time: 85:32
Distance: 12.68 miles

W/u: 14:12 for 1.70 miles
W/o: 1 hour of good up tempo running with Spada and Caitlin
C/d: 12:21 for 1.67 miles

Last night Caitlin was kind enough to pick me up from the airport. She said that she and Spada were going to be running hard for an hour in the morning. But, they were starting at 5:30 am. Woof. That's not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I needed to be on the road anyway. I opted to join them for some dark miles at McAlpine.

I never felt great and had to stop to use the bushes (so did Caitlin) which means Spada won this workout by a stomach. I don't know what we would have done if Caitlin didn't have a headlamp. I made sure to stick off her left shoulder so I could see the trail. It worked out minus when I almost ate it running back over a wooden bridge.

Splits:
6:12, 6:12, 6:45, 6:29, 6:06, 6:11, 6:31, 5:58 (some other splits) for 59:09 total and 9.31 miles. Average of 6:21.
