Longest since …

14 miles in 2:15 around Bedford. Longest training run since fall 2007. I realized this week that the last time I trained for the Richmond Marathon that I didn’t document my experiences very well. Now that I have a decent phone I can take with me and not have it get in the way, I’m going to start taking it with me on more of my runs. Down the road if I’m debating whether to train for a certain race or not, I want to remember scenes like this:

Or, better yet, this. You can never have a bad run when the Peaks of Otter are within view:

Meanwhile, my run around Bedford looked like this. The hill mapping on Daily Mile isn’t quite accurate, but it was still a crazy hilly run. I hit the biggest hill around mile 9, but pushed through it pretty well.

    I'm curious to see what the elevations are for the area I run, I know I contend with a few pretty large hills.

    Those really are great pics.

    Wow looks like you ran all over that city. It's crazy when I do my long runs and then look at a map of where I traveled to see how far I actually went. Good job on the run!.-= Runners Passion´s last blog ..The Power of Intervals =-.

    @Steve – when you log your routes on Daily Mile, it automatically gives you the elevation map. It's not 100% accurate, but close enough. The hills are somewhat dramatized — I don't feel like I'm hitting peaks and then going straight back down.
