Paradise, CA. Visiting family! 6:50 a.m. Dad and I drove to the church where Pearson intersects Pentz Rd. We parked there and ran down a gravel road to the flume. We ran up the flume (turned L) and ran all the way to the head dam and back. When we got the head dam we weren't quite at 7.5 miles so we had to run down a couple more gravel roads and a hill. I also had to take a bathroom break as well, rested for about 4 min. I felt pretty good except the last 4 miles were tough as usual. I drank lots of water this time and had one goo-strawberry bannana was good! Made me very thirsty though. I had the goo about on mile 11. My time is a little off because about mile 13 we stopped to refill some water at the flume and I forgot to start my watch back up. The last hill to go back up to where we parked was so brutal! Prob good i didn't get my splits on it; very very slow with some walking and running! It was tough! Not much leveling out at all; just straight up. No major knee probs, just a little aching. Weather was nice and cool but started to warm up some at the end of our run but pleasant.
Time is for running 13.55 miles (when we refilled the water) Over all ran 15 miles though.
