Annette and I did our long run today due to a scheduling conflict this weekend.   I started out feeling pretty good, but by 2-3 miles, my legs felt so completely fatigued.  This continued until about mile 11 and for some reason at this point they started to feel pretty good.   I had a client dinner last night and tried to avoid dessert but was not successful.   We ate at the Capital Grille in FW and they have a Coconut Cream Pie that is one of the best things I have eaten in a really long time, it was fabulous!  Unfortunately, all the cream did not do anything good for running, just causing the need for three longer than necessary bathroom stops.  My garmin died at mile 10, so I ran the rest by feel.  Interestingly, this is when I started to feel really good and pick up the pace.   Glad to have it done early for the week, but I don't know how many days I can get away with showing up for work at 9:15.

Great job on your long run Julie. You should be proud that you slogged through those miles in this weather. I bet it feels so good to get those miles out of the way for the weekend.

That coconut pie sounds delicious!

You're the boss. 9:15 is all good.

Good job on a long run in middle of the week even. I'm a sucker for desserts, seems I never learn how they cause more GI distress than they're worth!
