Meet up with the STG running club at 5:30 this morning for a 4th of July run from Enterprise Lake down to Veyo on the back dirt road. Good run. The course was good with some climbing and some downhill. We stopped at mile 5 to wait for Bill who was feeling a little sore. Then we made our way around the hill up and down to mile 13 and waited for Dustin and Bill. Then from there down we made our way down to the car at mile 17.5 then I ran one more mile to cool off and walked it back waiting for the guys to come. The first 13 miles felt great. We just moved along talking and enjoying the morning. Then after the wait we all started feeling cramped because of running and then stopping. Plus we all needed some water and were starting to get dehydrated. Once we got going again it only took just over a half mile to get warmed up again and then started pushing the last few. Hit the last three miles at 5:40 pace. Then I needed a drink bad. |
