Notes
All I have to say about that, is that it was haaaaaard work. Hot and very humid, very little sleep, PMS, etc.
Tired by .5 miles. Getting quite discouraged and exhausted, resigned to slowness, but around 2 mile mark when we checked our time, it was matching our PR! That animated me significantly and I ran at a faster pace than I ever have before. There were moments I felt like a true runner. It was very empowering.
I worked very, very hard today, possibly harder than ever before. It paid off. Our overall time was not significantly slower than other times.
