Time 3:22:45 AP 10:08 505050505050505050505050505050505050!!! First 50 mile week ever! Woo hoo! Well, 50.30 actually. Jeff and I left around 5am and ran around the hood, in the dark, with the stars for the first 5.5 miles. I had stomach issues this entire run. Stopped back at home to use the potty and went back out. Lots of hills as always on this run. Went up and up and came down dimple dell road. We saw a coyote on dimple dell. Jeff said that's what it was. I asked if they eat people. He said no. I started using my music around mile 12 cause I needed some help. Dealt with annoying paper boy in our neighborhood. Not very comforting when there's a car weaving in and out all around you and the driver is staring at some piece of paper instead of looking out for runners. There was one we kept seeing the entire first 6 miles of the run. then later when we were almost off dimple dell there was another who was doing the same thing. We saw him twice. I asked Jeff if he rather run later with sun and more traffic or earlier with annoying paper boys. He said paper boys. He understands them. I really tried to push the last 4 miles and try for a fast finish. Here are the results. Mile 17-9:19, 18-9:30, 19-9:17, 20-9:46. Not bad considering every other long run I've died at the end. So my 10+average is thanks to the hills again. That's okay. Speed work in disguise right? Jeff and I had parked a car and ran out to draper. Finished on the PRT. Now to taper! Excited for a new marathon. Off to soccer games.
