AM: We went up to Jeremy Ranch road today, I didn't realize it was going to be with a bunch of fast guys from the blog, I just assumed it would be our little East group. Nope. It intimidated me a bit, I knew right off the bat I was going to be one of the slower runners. I hung on for about 3.25 and felt great, and relaxed too, didn't feel fast even though we were going close to 7:00 pace. Then we hit a hill and I fell back. After that I tried for a while to get myself back up to the front group but couldn't. When I got to the 5 mile mark I turned around thinking I was just going to do 10, but then Bill turned me around saying that I had to do 15. Now that I think of it he did say to both Chris and I in the car that he wanted us to do 15, but somehow I thought he was just talking to Chris when he said that.. Weird. Anyway, I ran with Bill (and another guy for a bit) until I got to the road where I was at 7.5 and turned around. The way back wasn't much fun. I did end up walking a few hills, of course it seemed like whenever I did Bill and/or Dakota would drive by. Yay for that. My legs felt really heavy after about 8.5. When I was at around 12.5 Bill ran with me again, at the time I didn't like it too much because it meant no more walking whatsoever, but it was nice to have someone there to keep me going. This felt like the longest run ever. I think this is my second 15 miler... 15 is the farthest I have gone all at once. It was so hot too, I got really dehydrated. I feel better now though. Now I just have tired legs. PM: I did 3.25 around my neighborhood. It felt way short compared to this mornings run :) |
