morning - 20.5 Store to Painter's course and back. I was the club this morning as I either missed the message about a change or was the only one brave enough to dare go outside in the rain. As I got going, however, the rain was very minimal, and I stayed dry. Waited for about 10 minutes at the store and then decided to run down to the Painter's course (which I thought would be about 2.5, but was actually 3.5). Ran the course - including the outside of the road on the Bloomington Loop which is a real pain - and then back up to the store. Didn't have my Garmin, because I didn't want it getting ruined in the rain. So I didn't have exact numbers on pace or miles, but I went okay not taking it too hard. I was pretty worn down by the time I was coming back up Bluff - it was a long and tiring stretch. But it turned out to be the longest run I have done since SGM. I will now be getting back into 20+ milers to get ready for SLC, so it turned out okay. (Cumulus Silver 338.95)
Good week except for Monday. But by midweek, I was back going strong and had a couple good runs. Goals for next week: Get miles to 100 again. Keep getting mentally prepared to run a race again. Have a good set of mile repeats on Monday.
