RUN 14 miles in 2:15
My original plan was to run 14 in QP. When I thought I'd be running alone, I switched to FoPa. But then new friend EW wanted to run QP, so I switched again to meet her. She ran the first 4.5 with me, sharing news about her recent benchmark accomplishment at work! How exciting!
The next loop I ran alone, but knowing RM was planning to join me. I didn't see him until 12.5 miles and he'd already finished his workout. So we walked/jogged a bit more so I could round out my goal of 14. The 14 is an estimate, I missed .5 to .8 miles with a Garmin error and we walked a bit too. I'll call it 14 and good.
The run felt great, but my energy wasn't there for all of it. My left hip still has that dull ache but it's not constant. By the time I hit 11 miles I was dragging. I ate brekkie around 5-6am and here it was 11:30 and I'd only eaten half a powerbar for the run! I wasn't hungry, I was beyond that, but I needed to eat more to keep going. Made for a mental battle to finish.
And my Pink! Adrenalines need to be retired. They hurt my feet last week and hurt again today. My replacements are sitting in the box, I should take them to CCP with me tomorrow. I'm running with TH!
DH and I saw the last Hobbit movie tonight. Last night we finished the second movie, so it's been a Hobbity few days.
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
And a Gandalf quote: You have but one question to answer: How shall this day end?
