QUALITY LONG RUN

I got up at 4:30 am and got ready to head out. I drove to the Dee and from there ran 18.5 miles to Ben's house. Ben then drove me back to the Dee and we watched the Strider's Winter Circuit 5k race. The run wasn't as good as I had planned/hoped. I realized early on that Thursday took more out of my legs than I had originally thought. I planned to do 5:35-5:40 pace after a 2 mile warmup. But that wasn't in my legs today, so I settled on a 5:49 average for 16 miles. Still a good, quality run and I suppose it gets the job done still.

The race was strong in talent, but the guys mostly just did it as a workout so it wasn't as fun to watch as it could have been. But, I don't blame them; if I ran a tough hilly race with nothing on the line I'd use it as a workout too. Steve won in just over 17 minutes followed by Hales and then Bryant. My sister did awesome and broke 22 minutes after only three weeks of running (she's been off for 10 weeks with a stress fracture).
