Notes
Headed out with Tunney to check out the new (3rd time in 3 years!) Chamberlain Half course. First couple miles are the same, then flat for a couple, MAJOR hill at mile 4 followed by a MAJOR downhill after that. The rest rolls until its flat for the last 4 or so. Brutal hill and definitely a lot of up and down...interested to see how that pans out.
Run went GREAT. Got into a nice rhythm and we just kept clicking off the miles. Stopped for a brief wardrobe change and water break at 12, then added on Dirigo Drive to make it 18.5. Really tightened up from about 14 on but it was nice to have that feeling again. Cranked it up the last half mile which is always fun. Didn't carry any water or fuel and felt it by the end. Perfect day for a long run. Ecstatic about how the hip and IT band held up. Everything was sore at the end, but the good kind of sore. Woohoo!
