What an amazing run with amazing women! Ran with Alisa & Shelley - up Sunnyside 7 mile then back down to Ammon road - headed south til 97th then west for home. Nice rollers, for hill training in the middle. Where I had been ill all week, I wasn't going to go the full 20 (like half in fact) but then felt awesome halfway - pushed myself in a great way! 8:30 average pace (feeling like a rock star right now) crazy to think we celebrated a year ago when we would run 5 miles at this pace (and couldn't talk - we talked the entire first 12/13 miles). So grateful for the running women in my life to encourage and push me to a better, faster runner! Alana was missed this morning! |
