Notes
Day 2, 10 miles. I woke up feeling good with some faint signs of more tired muscles. The first couple miles were good. The only surprise was getting on the MKT behind a guy who would pull away from us. Lots of other runners out as well. Fatigue started hitting me around 4 miles and the 5 mile turnaround wasn't reassuring. I had thought ahead and had a gel ready for a pick-me-up. I choked that down in the 6th mile and things soon turned around.
We had been hovering around 7min pace, the next 3 were under with 2 under 6:50. It also helped that we had a good chat going. I was again planning on getting dropped for the final hill and I sorta gave in to slowing down a little before that. The hill was very slow and I finished run run tired but happy. It doesn't hurt that Nessa gleefully came out to see us and play fetch.
