Today, I ran from my parent’s house to around the Iroquois Loop (used for Papa John’s 10 miler and the Derby Festival mini and marathon) and back. The first hill coming from Southern Pkwy was a little bit challenging for me, but I had a nice stride on the remaining hils. Of course, coming out of the park I took the benefit of the downhill for I all I could get out of it–very stupid. Notice the spike on the downhill:
Distance: 6.06 miles
Duration: 55:16.77
