LBTT 7 Miler

Set out solo, and really enjoyed this run. The trail was unusually crowded today, although I saw no one I knew. Many walkers, runners and cyclists. It was a bit sloppy from all the rain we've had. A note on trail etiquette, there were a few runners and many walkers who had no idea how to share the narrow trail. This seemed to be a phenomenon restricted to the over 45 female, where they walked or slow-jogged 2 and 3 abreast, never moving to allow runner to pass in the other direction, or even from behind (though they whipped their heads and saw me coming). Annoying. By mile 5, I did feel my energy begin to fade, and realize how much work I need to do to maintain this pace for 19 more miles. However, I was happy to still have a bit of a kick to finish the last mile strongly. I was also pleased that I was never more than 5 seconds above or below my average per mile pace on this run and the pace felt good. Best of all, nothing hurts :-)! Activity Route: -- Elev.
