Ran around the reservoir this morning, it was a beautiful morning, birds all over the place and the temps were perfect, started a bit sluggish, but then looked back and had a few people behind me... forced me to pick it up a bit and all be darned if the 3 people ended up being 2 girls who chased me down and caught me with about a half mile left in their run... dam$... but I can say they never passed me I ended up running with them for about a 1/2 mile, they said they were doing 7:12miles to catch me so that made me feel a bit better! After that I kept things going pretty good no watch so don't know pace, but by feel I was probably around the 8/mile pace... felt awesome until about 2 miles to go and then I think the lack of food yesterday kicked in, I got real lightheaded and thought I was going to have to call for a ride home... remembered I had a gu so i downed that and was able to finish! Overall great run! |
