Running Stagecoach
Running Stagecoach
Today’s run was on the Stagecoach trail. It is a 8.61 mile run from the Auburn Dam Overlook. When I arrived at 9:30 am, the parking lot was full I forgot the AR 50 run is today. I wanted to push my pace today so I started out for what was for me a fast pace. I felt good and was running well. I got to the bottom of Stagecoach (about a 2-mile uphill) and kept up the same effort. I was a little surprised that I was still feeling good with no strain at all going up hill. I got to the top in what felt like good time, hit the pavement and ran the rest of the way back through Auburn. I finished in a time of 1hr 40 min and was feeling pretty good about that time. I got back just in time to see the winner of the AR 50 come in. He finished in 5hr 55min, a 7min per mile pace. My pace for the 8.63 miles was a 11:36 pace, not a 7 min pace, but I still felt good about my run.
