35 Miles Solo Run
Another great solo run in the reverse direction of Chilly Hilly bike route + a short out and back from/to my house + additional distance off the course and comeback for 6 hours and 29 minutes.
Lots of lots of hills. That's why the route was named Chilly Hilly, although the weather could not be so Chilly. Madison NE, Halls Hill, Baker Hill, Arrow Point just to name some. They were short and fun rolling hills and turned out to be long and tortuous at some points.
Just easy and no pressure run with some munch breaks for natural food (mashed potato). I was well on the route until Peterson Hill, but made a wrong turn on Bergman Rd toward Miller instead of Manzanita at about Mile 30. That was about the time I ran out of water/Gatorade too. I ran around Day Rd to comeback to Manzanita for extra ~1 mile, so I did't lose any distance by that incident. Running without water for the rest 5 miles was not a good thing in a long solo run. I needed better preparation.
Anyway, I had another good solid long run with huge satisfaction and am getting ready for my first 50 miler. Woohoo~
