Celery Bog w/ Brandon - 12 miles, averaged 8:04.

I did about a mile an a half very slow while waiting for Brandon to meet me. We stayed on the woodchips/mulch/wood bi-product, which was fine. I felt like crap because I stayed up too late for getting up early, but I had a long conversation with a good friend who was having some trouble. Figured a sloggy 12-14 mile "long" run wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I managed to fall, which was nice. I haven't done that since I smashed my elbow this winter. I was overdue and now my training parter knows my secret: I fall a lot.

You learn something new every day: Muscle Milk™ doesn't contain milk. Who knew? Needed a recovery substance and it was what was available at the gas station. I stopped reading the ingredients before I even got started.

Nice slogging! I've has a lot of close calls lately (falling) and I run on a very smooth paved path. Let's not sign up for any trail races anytime soon.

We got moving okay once we got started but I was super slow this morning. Too much cider and late snacking!

As for trail racing, I need some practice. I am getting good at my tuck and recover from falling though. My PR is 6:36 and that was a hard fall (in the middle of a 8-mile tempo).
