It's muggy, 59, overcast, with a hard wind blowing from the southeast, kind of weird three days before Christmas.
I ran and walked the Ridge Road Loop in reverse, with the 47th Street hill in the first mile instead of the fourth. Consequently, I covered the first in 11:41, followed by miles of 10:38, 10:56, and 10:32, to finish in 43:47. It was a relaxed effort, but an effort nonetheless, particularly the last 500 meters from the intersection of Maple and 47th to my driveway. I decided I wanted to break 44 minutes.
Forty-three, forty-seven for 4 miles is a 4:46:59 marathon pace, so I guess this would qualify as a tempo run for the skinny geeks at Runner's World.
Okay, now I have to clean my house so Little Rock Hashers can fuck it up from scratch tomorrow evening.
