Running (Street & Trail) 20:11 [3] 2.7 mi (7:29 / mi)
At Shawnee Mission Park, KS. A warm-up with Dan Meenehan of OK. I was here for work and Dan offered to go for a run. We ran from the park entrance on streets and trails to the lake and the beginning of the "Test Loop."
Running (Trail) 15:34 [4] 2.0 mi (7:47 / mi)
In Shawnee Mission Park, KS. Dan Meenehan lead me around and taught the OK Test Loop. It was a rocky and hilly 2 mile route with intersecting trails. It reminded me of running in college. We ran briskly making split second foot placements to step over the rocks and roots and was fun. It was nice to run it and I didn't feel tired from yesterday's O' meet. Work brought me to Kansas so all the time I lost training for work recently had at least some reward.
Running (Trail) 13:44 [5] 2.0 mi (6:52 / mi)
In Shawnee Mission Park, KS. Doing sort of a cross between a run and a time trial, I ran the loop Dan had just taught me. I hit the rocky hill somewhere under 7 minutes and was fading after that. Dan helped guide me through the last couple turns by meeting me from the other direction and by bringing me in to the finish. In the process he said I broke the course record that he set in 1999 by about 10 seconds.
Running (Street & Trail) 13:20 [2] 1.9 mi (7:01 / mi)
In Shawnee Mission Park, KS. Dan Meenehan and I jogged back from the OK Test Loop to the park entrance.
