Total Distance
18.00

18 miles this morning in Vancouver, WA.  I ran the first 7 miles with my father and Jason--good company as always.  After 7 miles I grabbed some water and ate a few sport beans and then started the tempo portion of the run.  I was shooting for anything under 6:00/miles and it turned out pretty good.

  • 5:54
  • 6:00
  • 5:41
  • 5:51
  • 5:38
  • 5:50
  • 5:47

I was originally only going to go 6 miles but I felt great and wanted to keep rolling so I added 1 more.  Fantastic way to finish off a week of very high mileage (for me anyway...).  I cooled down with 4 more miles and I was beyond ready to be done at that point.  Very thirsty as the temp was really starting to climb quickly and I hadn't drank/ate much of anything (2 swallows of water and maybe 5 sport beans.  I'll have to plan better next time.

Was your ten miler in your 5 fingers on the grass? Nothing better!

Dave- Most all of it was on a wood chip trail. Maybe 1 mile total was on other (grass, asphalt, road, etc). I agree--nothing better!

Bob-Same to you! I had a little free time on my hands this week as my wife/son were out of town. That makes for lots of miles. :) I'm just glad I was able to get outside and avoid the treadmill. How you holding up after the past few days? Back to the roads tomorrow?
