I ran with my friend Heather this morning. It has been a LONG time since we have gone together. The best part....not starting the run until 6:15am (verses starting at 5:00am) - hooray for sleeping in! Plus, it was cool out this morning! Fall is coming!

We ran the trail route today. I did part of this route during my 20 miler. The middle 3 miles have been hard for me the last few times I've done it. I'm not sure why...maybe I need to run it more to get better at it.

I planned to only run 8 miles, but it turned out alittle longer. I felt really good and my legs felt fresh. Except for the last .2 miles where I about had a potty accident. Bleh....those are never fun moments!

Lots of foam rolling this morning. I have extra time to stretch and roll which is so nice.

Isn't a nice Holiday run the best?!? Glad you had a wonderful morning! Nice miles and pace, glad you feel good and fresh.
