20-miler #2

RUN 3:12 and 20 miles, 9:36m/m
BIKE 48 mins and about 13.5 miles, just rounded up to 4 hrs

I met up with the Evolve group after 4.4 miles alone, ran with them until TH was done at almost 14 miles (for me), then broke off on my own. It was fun to run my usual neighborhood with others! And it was good to talk to TH about what's going on. She's honest with me, and told me things I need to hear. I'm damned good at denial. She's damned good at straight-talkin'.

I worked hard yesterday to catch up after Thursday  night, and I think it paid off. I felt great for this run, awake and energetic, maybe a little sludge in the system (haha, funny right?). I only ate about 100 calories every 45-60 mins and that might account for my mental fade towards the end. I had some math troubles trying to figure out the route for an out-n-back. But my energy in the last mile was awesome! Probably due to the bites of powerbar at 16 miles? Is that a sign I need to eat more? Probably.

I did the ride just to round out the 4hrs. It was an easy, no-work, spin indoors.
