The Running Diva

Sunday, December 16, 2007

We made plans to meet Don-Don and T for brunch at 12:30 and since LeRoo couldn’t quite make it to the lakes early enough, I started my long run without her and then picked her up at the fountain after scooting around the trails for a bit. We did the same route that I did last week. My legs were a bit flat going up the hills but I felt better than last week. It was extremely windy but it was dry at least and the sun even came out a few times…a great run. We got to the fire road at the back of the lake and a look at my watch showed that I was getting close to where I had to stop but still had a good 20 minutes ahead of me to make it back to the p-lot. I made a decision to continue but to stop and walk at 1:55, adding on 10 minutes to what I did last week. I wasn’t told how far to go today but figured this would be my last and longest run before the race. I was feeling really good but thought I better not push my luck. We almost made it back but I stuck to my plan and stopped and walked the rest of the way back to the car while LeRoo continued on.

Juice had already finished his two laps and patiently waited while I did some stretching. We were late to meet up with Don-Don at Mol:é, but after a quick call we set up a later meeting time. Juice bumped into Syl while I was running and invited him along for brunch. Nothing better than a big brunch after a long run!
