12 miles out and back on big dry creek trail. 7:19 ave. Tried out the water belt with 8 oz water and 8 oz gatorade. Drank almost all of it throughout the run and felt a ton better than I did on my 11 miler last week. Felt like I could have gone another few miles today, whereas last week I was absolutely finished at 11 miles. I realized that 12 miles is probably the longest run I have done since running the Ogden marathon over 2 years ago. And a 50 mile week is definitely the most mileage I have done in over 2 years too. And I feel great! So that is encouraging. |
