Welp, we just finished our 12 mile run. That’s right folks–amazing for many reasons:
1–It is 9:09pm and usually we are asleep by 8:30pm.
2–It is 9:10pm and we are about to eat dinner. This is a big deal b/c we usually eat between 5:30 and 6pm. Paul was STARVING by the time we finished our run.
3–This is 2 miles further than Paul has ever run.
4–We killed it! I am SUPER slow and make Paul slum it w me. But tonight we did our first 6 miles in 72 min (perfect 12 min miles as planned), then crushed a negative split w 64 min 2nd 6 miles! Same course!
5–It is crazy cold here for Halloween. It was about 58 when we started, dropped to about 43 at the end. Paul usually runs around in shorts and maybe a T shirt. Post shower he is in sweats, sweatshirt and a ski hat (they call them toboggans here…). Madness! But it could be cold on race day!
Myrtle, here we come!
I am very impressed. Susan, I want to make sure you say toboggan the correct way. It is TOEboggan.
I normally eat a large snack/small meal when I get home, but only had a small snack so I was STARVING on the second lap. By the second lap Susan was starting to look like a nice juicy steak so it was really for her own safety that we picked up the pace for the last six miles.
