Mon-AM: 1:03, 1316’ ~ Lattice Bridge Loop
(1,191’)
After a
night of tossing and turning, I was abruptly woken by the repetitive buzz of my
alarm. Austin and I began our run on
Route 19 to a bright pink sky. The
sunrise was at our front while we scorched out 6:00 miles. We crossed Lattice Bridge and watched the
beaver swim up river in the direction that we were headed. Around the 4 mile mark was a spring where we
cooled off and drank. The water was cool
and quenched our thirst. We were ready
for the next 5 miles. We attempted a few
different paces but decided that we felt as good as we could feel around a 6:40
pace until the last two miles where we tested our turnover and ran all out to
the Welcome to Houghton sign. As we
entered the college we noticed a sprinkler and without any communication, we
ran through it. Austin impressively
knocked out a 5:00 last mile. Breakfast
tasted wonderful.
