RUN 10 miles in 1:31
I was so happy when LC texted a few days ago looking for a run partner today! I had 10 miles as my goal, she had 18. When you have 18 miles to run, who do you call? Your ultrarunning friend!
Another perfect day, this has been an unseasonably cool August, temps in the 80's during the day and almost chilly at night. Today was clouded, still, and wonderful.
We picked the Katy trail, that gave me a soft run rest and was close to where she lived. Another day in which the drive was totally worth it. LC is so much fun to talk to, so on this run even though I'm talking about my life upheavals I'm still not really thinking about it. And I love hearing about her upcoming wedding, Ironman in October, and all else. We think alike in a lot of ways to :) Miss talking to her more.
To my surprise, I felt great for this run. I brought a gel but didn't need it until mile 8.5 and by then there wasn't time for it to be effective. No pains, soreness, or unexpected fatigue. Sure, I'm tired, but it would have been worse had I been running alone.
While I would have loved to run the full 18 with her, it wasn't good for me. Maybe in a few weeks.
And sadly, I learned that DT and JA couldn't finish MiTi due to weather cancellations!
