Today was a very productive day, as far as running is concerned. My buddy Chris has a half-marathon coming up in two weeks, but he'd been slacking off recently. With the race coming so soon, we decided he had better get at least one double digit run in.
We took off on what we thought would be a fairly flat route (see details here), but for being around a lake, it sure seemed pretty hilly. It ended up being 10.43 miles in 1:49:58 for an average pace of 10:32, which is pretty good for me. Chris got a couple stomach cramps around 4 miles or so, so we walked for a bit there, but other than that we kept at it. Nothing starts your weekend off right like having a nice 10 mile run to get the endorphins released. Even writing this now, I can still feel the remnants of the experience. Hitting the double digits again really feels like I've accomplished something; like I'm almost back into the same level of fitness as when I last ran my marathon.
Summary for the week:
Running - 23.64 miles in 4:06:58 for an average pace of 10:27
Cycling - 9.2 miles
