Week 9 - Saturday

I was feeling waaay better after a few days of antibiotics and some rest, so I decided to go ahead and join the group for Saturday's long run. We were doing 10-12 miles this week, and it was the last long run before Robie, for those running that race. We were meeting at Glenwood and the Greenbelt at 7am. We had a good turnout, me, Holly, Trever, Paul, Ryan, Trina, Brent, Kerry, and Mark. It was a beautiful morning, overcast and about 4o degrees. Perfect running weather!

We headed off going west under Glenwood, across the bridge, and back onto the Greenbelt. Ryan, Paul, and I clocked the first two miles sub-8, but as we neared the wooded, winding stretch, I doubled back to run with Holly for safety (hers, not mine!). Our pack clipped along comfortably and not stretched out very far from each other. We reached the 5-mile turnaround point just east of Bardenay at Eagle road, and wheeled around to retrace our route.

The trip back went quickly and it was fun to be running with Holly, who was really running great. We met back up at Glenwood, a 10 mile out-and-back, and only Ryan went for the longer 12 miles. We all hung out and chatted for a while, until I started complaining about being cold and hungry. A great run today!
