20 Miles on the New Course

Today we met at AHS to run the last portion of the new ATT marathon course. This was the third time I have run portions of the course and today I really enjoyed it. We started out with Marcy, Brian, Jan, and Brad. We picked up some other folks and dropped them along the way. There was water placed about every 4 miles with a couple of deviations, but overall great support by Kenny Hill. The mid portion of the course is mostly uphill, but once you get to the midway point, you start to get some nice downhills. It will be interesting to see how the first 8-9 miles add on the hills before we get to the point we jumped in today.

Marcy, Brian, and me stuck together all the way to the end and ended up running the last couple of miles pretty quick with an 8:05 and a 7:36 for the last two miles. I stuck around for the stretching session and then headed home.
