Run It: 12 Miles!!!
A new distance for me, I was very happy with my 12-miler this morning. The sky was clear, the temperature was literally perfection (started at 55 and climbed to 65 as the sun rose; low humidity), and I felt strong. Also? Add 1.2 more miles to that and there’s my race! There were some killer hills on this run, but our coach instructed us we were not to whine about the hills because we would be happy we did them come race day. I’m sure I will be. I think the hill repeats we’ve been doing as our mid-week workouts have been a huge help… these hills didn’t kick my butt as much as they have in the past.
I’m learning to run without music and, much of the time, very little conversation. But having a couple people to get you through those last few miles is great.
Run on, running lovers!
