Lunch run PR

I’ve been running the “Shawsheen 7” during my lunch since April 28 of last year.  In that time I’ve run the course 112 times.  It has a nice mix of ups and downs and road and trail.  I never get tired of this loop.  The only thing that keeps me away is snow during the winter and horseflies in the summer.  My personal best is a 44:53 during a hard work-out a few days before XC nationals last year and my slowest was a 58:21 (8:17 pace) a few days after Loon Mountain.

This week I ran two of my fastest times.  The combination of starting to feel good and the weather cooperating helped me to a couple of solid times. Even more solid considering my race pace these days is about a minute a mile slower than it was “back in the day”.  If the same holds true for training runs, then these would qualify as tempo runs.
