3 solo avenues loops. The loop consists of east on 2nd ave, north up Virginia, west on 11th ave, down Memory Grove, and back east on 2nd. In each loop I picked it up for 2.5 miles on 11th and down into the grove. I did this run last year, and it is a test in multiple ways. 

I "like" doing it solo because I more than often end up racing alone in no man's land. It is good to test running long runs alone for me. Next, this route is no joke. 1,500 feet of climb starts to weigh on the legs and then I have to shift to fast downhill. I am super pleased with how it went. I took one gel at mile 12 with some water. My 3x2.5s were faster than planned as well. Now time to rest. Happy Easter weekend everyone!

I also wore Whit's Fitbit for fun and logged 26,189 steps. I think according to the American Heart Association I can lie in bed for the next 36+ hours.

that's my favorite post-run pastime -- flat on my back in bed (or in the driveway if i can't make it inside).

very nice run today. that is a tough route, and the gear shifting from uphill to downhill is great for ogden at that 16-17 mark.

Solid, James. You're stacking up some nice long runs.

Thanks allie, Jen, and Jake! I feel like things are coming together. A few more weeks before the taper.
