Out Hudson/Mary Dell out and back through Vettiner Park
Up Billtown, to end of St. Rene and up Willowview.

Monday… 13.33 miles at an 8:28 pace.
Elevation Gain (ft) +858 / -857
The Hatfield McCoy marathon does not look impossibly daunting of a task…
Granted:
1) Flying Pig was 6:30am vs. Hatfield 7:30am start
2) May 4th was unseasonably cool.
3) June 14th is 6 weeks closer to the heart of summer.
Obviously, the noise/granularity of the Flying Pig elevation map exaggerates the elevation totals, or vice versa, but Hatfield/McCoy still looks about even with the Flying Pig.
Flying Pig Elevation change +3,402/-3,337 ft (MotionBased Gravity Web elevation)
Hatfield McCoy Elevation change +3,186 / -3,175 ft (MotionBased Gravity Web elevation)
Note to self: 46 steep, hilly miles, too fast, in 5 days is bad.
Registered for the Hatfield McCoy Marathon.
Not too many car fumes at 5:30am. Ran a sub-7′30″ mile beginning at the westernmost part of the route (the Stillmeadow Loop). The first part of the mile was uphill, and I had nothing left after completing the mile in under 7′30″. I labeled the run an easy run, but an 8′30″ average mile for 12 miles is not really easy run territory for me.
I was supposed to stay quite a bit closer to 8′50″ pace, but I felt a serious lack of punishment from racing or intervals.
The scale at home weighed me in at 156 lbs after the run.
Not a bad section of course early on a Saturday morning. Very few cars out at all.
