Easy run w/ bedoukian. At a certain point we saw a girl who looked darn good from behind and was going pretty fast. But we were already past our planned turnoff. So we decided to pick it up to tempo pace to catch her to see if she also had the face. It was stupid because neither of us would have done anything even if she was drop dead gorgeous. And she wasn't at all, so it just added mileage, which is fine. We are so stupid and desperate. All we want is a girlfriend on a college cross country team, lol. Anyway, other than that the run was uneventful. Trail marathon coming up. Im running through, or at least I am just treating it like any other long run and not dropping my weekly mileage for it. I have to keep saying it to convince myself, but I am gonna go slow. Stay with sharkey at least through the half. And I think im just gonna take my camelbak full of nuun with some protein powder because im used to it and I wont have to stop at the aid stations which will most likely be just unopened gallon jugs of water. And on top of that I will have honey and some power bars. I agree with bedoukian that plenty of food is key.
