10.5 miles, 10:57 pace, Trails

Today was the first run post Mohican that I felt totally normal. The cold was gone, no headache or blisters and fresh legs. I pushed the pace on this run, although you can't tell from the pace. I hit both monster hills on the first loop and skipped them both for the second loop because I was running out of daylight. I was definitely stuck out later than I should have been without a light. It is a good thing I know this trail well enough to practically run it with my eyes closed because that is more or less what I did the last mile as the clock past 9:30 in the middle of the forest. I can't tell if all of the 100 mile specific training I have been doing the last couple months has caused me to lose some speed. I won't really be able to figure that out until I race another 50k.
