Backward 11

Someone in my running forum recently told of doing her normal route backward. The idea stuck in my mind, and Brad and I decided to give it a try this morning.

It was actually a bit challenging. I had to think much more than usual - no autopilot. And small downhill sections that I never noticed became uphill sections that I really noticed ;) 

I ended up doing 11.28 miles at a 10:43 average:

Brad left home a bit after me and then ran much faster. He caught me when I was just 1.5 miles from home. Then he whizzed past. Fun to see him out there :)

Just a couple weeks until my race!
