27.3 miles, 8:40 pace. I earned the coveted trucker hat. It's way too big for my shrinking brain cell head. I gave it to my 4 year old nephew, it fits him perfectly.
I had a good time running with Janice and Heather. It was nice to catch up with RAD who was pacing 1:55. Once we hit mile 23 some of the girls I was with were struggling and I felt really good and was just ready to be done. They gave me the okay to go ahead so I did. After running conservatively for 23 miles it was nice to just open up my stride. The last 4 miles were sub-8 which is my new fast:) and the last .3 was 6:18 pace.
My feet are a piece of Sh**t. Hills+asphalt+warmer temps+remotely pushing the pace=ridiculous pain. So lame. I'm kind of over it at this point and honestly don't know what to do. If I decide I want to race hard again I will have to deal with it because I'm not willing to run through that pain anymore. Until then I'll just keep on keeping on and feeding my crazy with more mileage.
Fun weekend!
