16 miles
yay for my second successful 16 mile run! the weather was perfect for it this morning, cool and a little drizzly. watching all the tailgaters made the run go by pretty fast, except for the last 10 minutes which seemed to take about a day and half. now it's time for some food, a shower, maybe some homework, and watching the msu vs emu football ( Read more... ) -
the night before the first day of school...
i ran 16 miles last night, all but the first two and last two miles were under 10-minute miles (my current goal pace for my marathon). i both impressed and surprised myself. i then ran a recovery 3 miles this morning, and my legs/feet/blisters all feel great! i wonder how much faster/stronger i'll be after another 8 weeks of training? i'm ( Read more... ) -

hillsdale baptist church sonshine 5k
i won a medal! i got 4th place overall in my 5k today, and 2nd place overall female! my time was the slowest i've run all summer, but the course was also the most difficult i've ever run in my life. the whole thing was marked out in two loops through mowed-grass fields and parking lots, and it was almost entirely in the sun. the race didn't ( Read more... )
