Day after Christmas. 40ish degrees. Drizzle. 16mi run on the agenda.
Back at the Valero trail.
I have been eating pretty poorly given the holidays and have been having gi issues.
At about mi 7, I had to go. Thank god for Valero Porto potties!
This time I left the clock running. My time goal was 2:24. A 9min/mi pace.
I went out slow for the first 7, then with a 3 min pit stop I decided to try and make the time up over the next 9mi. Finished at 2:23:30. Last few mi at 8:25 pace.
So it went well. I started to wear down at about mi 11 but I kept the pace up fine.
I went back to my car patting myself on the back. I reach in my pocket for my keys. No keys. Long story short, I lost em. So I call Terri who has had it to the eyeballs with our kids and is wondering where I am and had to ask her to come get me. I was in the dog house for a while.
Still, cross another long run off of the list. 5 more to go.
