Well another week, another run without our whole squad cause Mr. Coffee came down with a bug. Get well Rubber-toe and we'll see you on the trail next week....
So, Maximus and I decided to take on a challenge this week and go for the 10 miler and our first try for double digit miles. And the weather decided to make it even tougher on us. It rained the whole way which wasn't necessarily all that cold but it was awful wet.
We tucked in back under the I-182 bridge instead of starting on the hill and headed out to the 5 mile marker along the river. We took about a minute break there to throw down some beans and a gel shot which was obviously too long cause we stiffened even in the short break.
We were both hurting a bit but toughed it out and cruised in just under 90 minutes. It was a bit slower than we'd like to run in a race setting but great for our first double digit endeavor and good for the confidence.
Gonna be a sore one tomorrow but the feeling is great reaching new goals every week!
Train on,
Luke
