ilanaramaThis was the weekend of the Iron Horse bicycle race from Durango to Silverton, which I did not do. (We went out in the morning to watch the mass start, though - about a dozen of our friends were racing.)
Instead I raced the Narrow Gauge 10-mile run, which was a loop around town and up the mesa to the college (steeeeep!), around the campus, and then down again. My time was 1:30:34, just over 9 minute miles which is what I was aiming for. Not a very good time in the scheme of things, though - runners around here are serious! Put me about in the middle of all women's times. I was mostly running 8:50 miles, but the uphill killed me. Whew. Gorgeous day, partly cloudy and breezy, really nice for running.
