Notes

Leg C-4 "Don't Blink or You'll Miss Wink Run" (rated 6 difficulty). FINALLY, some roads to run on. I was so happy on this run, i even managed an 8:20 m/m here until I realized my legs were already in bad shape and i still had 8 miles to go on the day. Backed off a bunch, but felt pretty well throughout. Climbing the last of the smallish hills i knew my quads were toast but I at least could process the feeling and relate to the pain. The roads, and running on dead legs is something i'm very familiar with. The same fried legs on trails had me completely out of my element.

I wish I could have had a run like this to start the weekend. It would have been nice to rip out a solid run at the beginning and build a little confidence. As it was I just did the best I could with what was left in my legs for this run. Still, it was nice to finally get a good run in for the weekend.
