Morning run

So this morning I had a 5 mile run, my longest run in a long time. With the heat here I got up and was out the door by 4:30 this morning. Even then it was 80F!

Surprisingly the run was very easy! The first mile was dry, the second it started to sprinkle and the 3rd was a complete downpour for about 10 minutes. I suppose that help make it cooler. The only thing I could complain about was running in wet socks and shoes… never fun.

I was happy with my splits as the goal was to keep them around 12 minutes.

1/2 Marathon

The race went really well this morning.  I got to the start line and decide to run with the 12:45 pace group and they were great. So good that at mile 9 I felt like I had just warmed up!  So I took off on my own and finished strong.  No pain in the feet or legs, just one blister on my little toe!  

   
Mile 11- Richard was there to greet me!

Productive morning 

I had hoped I could sleep in a bit getting in so late last night, but that was not the case.  So I got up around 5 and went out for a run.  It was a bit cold out for me (60F). I did have a little pain in my hip, which is a bit concerning…so I only ran 6 miles.  

 I ended up stopping for breakfast at this place called Snooze. The original one is in Boulder and Jenny’s favorite breakfast spot.  I think we go every time I visit. So I was really excited to see one here!  I now have an amazing breakfast and I think I will be back in the morning for it again!
