I walked the first minute of each half mile to cover the Ridge Road Loop, begun up the 47th Street hill, in 43:14, with splits of 11:36, 10:18, 10:35 and 10:45 this evening. My plan was to go at an average of 11:26 a mile (a 4:59:46 marathon pace), hoping that it would feel easy. It was easy.
On Sunday, after eating steak, baked potato, salad and a big plate of escargot, I ran for 12 minutes out and up T Highway hill, then about 11 minutes back to my dad's farm house, 15 miles west of Van Buren, Mo. I covered a little over two miles. On Monday, dad and I walked 2.5 miles from his house, halfway up the T Highway hill, then to the end of the blacktop and back to his house in 55 minutes.
