I met Tom at Lake Georgetown at 5:00 PM and we ran the trail over toward Jim Boggs Park. It was only 97 degrees (finally under 100 degrees) as we got started. Both of us kept catching the tip of our toe on a rock or root and fortuately recovering before falling down, until in the first mile on our return Tom went down hard after tripping. Not good.
Anyway, a great run on a very hot day. My heart rate was hitting 155 and Tom was hitting over 175 at the peak of our efforts. Amazing how his HR keeps hitting 20 beats higher than mine, go figure.
I needed this run after spraining my left ankle last Saturday on the Hill of Life. The ankle felt fine tonight. |
