a nice way to begin spring break

Friday afternoon of the start of spring break - the weather was overcast and sprinkly, with what looked like possible downpours. Cool but not cold. Rather than head to the pumpkin trail (where we had just resumed our Wednesday night runs! nice!) I decided to stay close to home and do a Williams/Bradley loop (up Bradley) to prepare myself for the Laurel Hill Challenge of the Tarheel 10 Miler.

The goal: 4 loops at a rapid clip. I think I succeeded! I kept each loop under a 10 minute mile, which included running up the supersteep Bradley. I did rest between each loop by walking around for about a minute.

The loops:
1. .56 miles/ 9:49 pace
2. .57 miles/ 9:40 pace
3. .56 miles/ 9:52 pace
4. .56 miles/ 9:54 pace

I want to do this run again!
