4.75 miles

4.75 mi =54:30
11.43 pace
I think the 1 mile + 50 burpees + lap + 25 burpees had something to do with that time. I really thought we were doing a much faster pace. I'm glad we didn't do the full 6 miles we were intending to do. My legs were trashed, plus we got confused at one section.

We, Carmen and I, went down Arbolada and missed the uphill jog, ending up on Foothill. It took a bit to get oriented since we were expecting to end up on Baldwin. Luckily we were only a few yards?feet? off so getting back on track wasn't so bad.

But what a strange feeling when you know you're familar with some place, but know it doesn't feel right, but can't immediately place where you are, but can't believe you're that far off, but don't really think you are, but.......

yeah burpees (not)

Test in -a short 1 mile (9:28?)
50 burpees
repeat warm up lap
25 burpees

cutoff time 30 minutes. Didn't think I'd complete but I did with about 4 minutes? to spare.

Need to work on my push ups. Add done from the toes, but I know my form can be much better and I know there's so much more room for improvement. I know I need to go lower but just don't have the strength? flexibility? After all these years I still can't do it. Sucks! But I will still keep trying.

It was nice to see some familiar faces out there. And some new ones.
