is it still a “pre-run” if it’s longer than the main event?

two gentleman set out to find out the answer to this question. As well as “how early is too early?” “On a Saturday?” “Was this a good idea?” “Is this fun?” “Are we going to make it back on time?” “Is 12/mile reasonable for an overall pace on a trail run?” Answers were deemed to be yes it’s a pre-run, before 430, yes on a Saturday, it was an idea, yes, we did somehow, yes but only by pushing it when the trail opens up. Got it a little over 10k. Great to catch up with Big Rig. Glad to get some trail miles in preparation for the river rock half coming up.
