Miles 1-4 - Life as usual. These are always my hardest miles until we cross the half mary mark. Why, I don't know, guess I just have to adjust and get into a rhythm. M says same thing though, so I am not all crazy.
Miles 4-8 - Business as usual. Felt good and finished off water bottle #1 and half of my multi-fuel Perpetuum bottle (orange-vanilla).
Miles 8-13 - Was fortunate enough to have M meet me on the downtown mall to run these miles. Felt good even though the hills felt like monsters. I always enjoy time I can run with M and talk about whatever, it especially helps pass the time. Around mile 12 I start to enter somewhat of a fog and head back to M's car so she can head home for he bike ride and I can finish up. Steal some water from her, hit the goo machine and take off for the last 4 miles.
Miles 13-17 - Start off great. Headed down 5th street towards home I am zooming from the caffeinated goo shot, maybe a little too much because as I hit mile 16 and have to head back up the snow covered trail towards home. At this point I can tell I went too hard down 5th street and am in a total bonking fog without any more goo. I manage to make my way back up the trail and meet up with M and Scoob who are waiting for me at front of neighborhood.
Moral of the story, do a better job pacing even when you feel good and take more goo.
M had made several great dishes yesterday while I was at work, so we had a feast then she went to ride and I drifted off into a slumber.
Scoob is our fantastic dog that we have had for almost 6 months. Gave him a bath today which requires a before and after to do it justice.
Fluffy and innocent
Rat dog extraordinaire
Will spend tonight and tomorrow in recovery mode then do my last 8 miler for the week before a swim meet for B and P on Sunday.
