I took yesterday off between my faster downhill Thursday run and today's long run.
Last night I took my girls to see Shrek, The Musical in Payson. It was so good and we had a fun time! However I didn't get home and into bed until almost midnight. That 4:30 am alarm was going to come much too soon! I was able to get to sleep good and sleep well without interuption so that was nice.
I woke up with my back hurting. It hasn't hurt for awhile. Yesterday I did several things that I usually try to avoid, (weeding, carrying heavy things, leaning over to paint and sitting at the play without getting up and stretching). It bothered me a bit here and there throughout the run but not enough to ruin things.
I was the only she-male in the group yet again.....luckily all the guys treat me well and accept me and help me out! I did most of my running with the 2 Daves, but spent some time with others including Pat and Kent. I told them that I needed to write that in my journal that I ran about 3 miles with them. :o)
Grateful once again to Hal (and also to Pat this time) for making sure we had fluid along the course! Dave H was also good to keep my hydrated with his pack.
Glad to have another 20 miler done. I just look forward to running a marathon with a taper in front of it. These past few weeks have been some of my highest milage weeks. In fact, I'm pretty sure I have never hit a 200 mile month and I think I got it up to just over 200 this month. I am looking forward to a bit of a rest week next week.
