Well, I am hitting several lasts . . . . last double digit run, last intervals and now, the last tempo run. I started my run at Bronze Bruce, right next to the headquarters building. Bronze Bruce is on the same plaza as a statue of Dick Meadows, one of Special Forces heroes. He was an important part of the SonTay Raid during the Vietnam War.
The plaza where Bronze Bruce stands is called Meadow's Field, that is where most SF parades take place. The plaza is surrounded by cherry trees, each spring I wait for the right moment to take pictures of Dick Meadows, it is a very pretty sight, these are this year's photos. If you click on the pictures, you get a much better view of the statue, Dick Meadows was a true hero and general stud.
Ok, back to the run. It was a pretty standard route, through 3d SFG, onto Chicken Road then open up the pace for a few miles, turn around and come back at pace. I went 2 miles out and 2 miles back, plus a miles worth of warm up and cool down. The tempo portion was a 6:32 pace, I felt pretty strong on the hills, it was a nice little chunk of running.
Dennis and Allison McC are making a donation, and I got another one from Joe Cap, one of the LTCs I work with. Pretty good amount so far, Thanks a ton.
