Another great long run this morning. I met up with Mike,
Bruce,
Clint and Mark at the Rt. 30 intersection of the Rail Trail in Vernon. We knocked out the first 11 1/4 miles in 1:32 (8:10 Pace). We refueled at a 7-11, made the turn and headed back. When we hit the Valley Falls area, we ditched off the RT onto some single track. We tacked on 7 to 8 miles by completing a loop on each side of the Rail Trail. After the single track, we hopped back on the RT and finished the run back to our vehicles. In the final 5 miles of the run, Mark led us into stupid mode and we pushed it to the finish with an extremely painful sub 7:00 pace. In the end it was a 4:45 run and I'd say at least a 30 miler...

Nice run, Bruce and I finished up at just a hair over 27.2 miles in 4:02. I didn't have much more than that in me today, but those 27 were very encouraging..
Nice pictures. Where's the strip malls and smoke coughing cars though?
Nice run, the 7 11 employees must have thought you guys were nuts.
