I woke up at 5:45 today to go running. I was out by six, it was so dark I could see about ten feet of sidewalk in front of me. Fog swirled across the path, and I watched the sun rise.
I ran a mile and a half to the trailhead where I was meeting my running buddy (who ended up being a little late this morning, so I had time to eat the banana I'd carried over, get a drink from the fountain, and run around the trailhead loop). When she got there, we ran four miles (down to the end of the road and back). Then we said goodbye and I ran the mile and a half home. I did the long run today since we're planning to go to the beach tomorrow, and I don't want to fall asleep in the sand.
Running felt good today, but I did not necessarily feel so good. This isn't the sort of thing I normally go around talking about, but since it affects my training, we'll just say that it's that time of month, so I am really proud of myself for running at all. Slow though I was, at least I didn't have to stop and throw up. My goal today was simple: just keep running. Slow is just fine today.
STATS: 7 miles, 9:04/mile
