Today was our longest run EVER!! 17 miles! Yes, 17 miles!! Our temps have been so hot lately and it was warm this morning. We pushed mid to upper 80’s by my last 4 miles or so. I’m very heat sensitive, so I went into self preservation mode. I started walking more and running less. With 2-3 miles left to go, the sun was relentless and I was getting dizzy and seeing spots. So by mile 15, I ended up just walking the remaining miles. Ryan was my hero today! He always finishes his miles before I do since he’s so speedy. He walked a half mile to meet me with cold water. He made sure I sipped and poured some down my back. That really helped my core temperature. He walked with me to the end, so he technically went 18 miles. I am so glad I made the decision to walk the last two miles because I recovered within a couple of hours. I included our three selfies of our emotions today! Happy to be done, shocked I did 17 miles, and tongues out because that was brutal! I really hope Fall makes an appearance soon!!
Got in a 4 miler today after our 17 miler yesterday. I was a little slow going but felt pretty good! The temps were so much cooler today! I finally got a donut today too! I’ve been saying I want one after a run, and we just never go! Got a blueberry cake donut from Dunkin!
You did great yesterday! That was a wonderful pace after the 17 from Saturday. And I love that you finally stopped and got donuts! :blush:
I realized after seeing Heather’s post that I didn’t put up our 5k Support Heather training session from yesterday morning! It was so humid, seriously felt like a Florida morning! And windy! So much wind. But we knocked it out at a 14:25 minute/mile pace! That’s one second faster per mile than our last full 5k that we did the end of August. On track for the Dark Side!
@nascfan I was so happy for my donut yesterday!!! I am so proud of you and Kathy! We call the wind “resistance training!! just like you call hills “elevation changes”!
You and Kathy are going to rock Dark Side!!!!!!!!@nascfan My question is, are you training to be part of the resistance?!
See what I did there?! Resistance, Star Wars! Man, I’m hilarious! You are! That was perfect! Kathy just rolled her eyes at us again and said, “oh no, she sounds like you!” I swear she’s going to sprain her eyes in January! @nascfan Haha!!!! We are quite the pair!!!
I seriously think we are somehow related!!!! Kathy better doing eye rolling exercises now to start prepping!!! Hellloooooo Dcot Running Club!
