Notes
Was planning on doing 8-9 and probably should have. Wasn't stretched out enough for this run at all. miles 8-10.5 were brutal. Then I caught a second wind with a half mile to go. It was great to run on the towpath again. It was also great to run with people. It was the second time running with Jeff and hadn't run with Dimitri in some time. The conversation definitely helped pass the time. Jeff broke away from us a little bit with about a mile to go. I was starting to doubt I could get through the run. I told Dimitri he could go if he needed too. But he stayed. I was glad he did. He helped me mentally get through the run. With a half mile to go all of a sudden felt great. Decided to see if I could cut the gap between me and Jeff in half in the next quarter mile. When I was able to do that I decided to see if I could catch him. I did and passed him then he kicked and caught me. That was awesome. This long run was badly needed.
