My inspiration for running today was Susannah winning the mile at the state championships in 4:54, followed by winning the 2 mile today in 10:39. She was amazing! What a way to finish up a stellar high school career.
Devra met me at my house for a loop run that incorporated some road and some of the river trail. I was still feeling Thursday's workout a bit, but nothing too terrible. We were running along just fine until we hit the trail. From miles 5-7 there were giant puddles (or ponds) on the trail. They were calf deep in some places, and there was no way to run around them. We had to resort to removing our shoes and socks and wading across the puddles. The trail improved after 4800S, and we ran into no more trouble during the run. It made for an adventurous run, with a couple less-than-quality miles. I am happy to be done for the week! |
