Notes
So I don't usually get faster for the last half of a longer run...but I did it. I don't usually rate my run a 10 & 10 either...but I worked my ass off & it felt good, so I did. Chris & I did a nice 6 miler to start. She wasn't feeling 100% so we took it easy and it felt good. Chris new I probably wouldn't be doing a long run this weekend, so she suggested I pick up some extra miles with Ed. Ed was running 10 & I briefly considered it, but realized my diet & hydration just weren't where they should have been today & yesterday to do that kind of mileage. So I did a 5 mile loop with Ed & he kicked my ass! A section of trail covered in snow at a pace faster than I can usually run on a clear road, and pushing the pace the entire time. It wasn't easy, but it felt nice to challenge myself. And I DID IT!! And I'm no worse for wear right now, though will probably feel this a little over the next couple days. Great run!!
