Good run today, both in terms of how I felt and overall progress. I hit a trail that goes to the high point in the county, and the softer footing felt great for my legs. Eight is my longest run so it was good to get past that milestone, but it was also good for pushing myself. The weather was rainy and windy, and the trail was pretty hilly with some long stretches. Pushing through that in bad weather, sloppy footing and unknown hills was good for me mentally. Obviously I picked up the pace coming down, so I got to stretch my legs and push my heartrate a bit. Even going up I was able to keep a good pace. Now that I'm home eating lunch, the sun's coming out. Of course. |
