Notes
Ran my practice 10 miles with Steve on Saturday! It was a killer 10 miles, starting at the church on top of the Ilchester hill, running down to Bonnie Branch, heading up Landon Way street/hill going to Ilchester Park entrance, turning around and heading back down to run the Patapsco loop, and finishing by runnning up Ilchester. I had a great run, felt a bit dehydrated so a little sluggish, but I managed to push aside all that and push through to the finish. I definitely need to hydrate before, during, and after! I am really thankful to Steve for showing me the route and running with me (waiting for me) when I am quite a bit slower. I cannot fathom how he then went for a second round (to do 20 miles), but I am sure I will get there with enough persistence.
I may not be able to practice today, I tweaked my back two weeks ago, and the inflamation in my back is just too much to ignore. I am going to do my best to take care of it, since I have my 10 miler race on Saturday and want to be 100%.
