10/16 - day 6

Goal: 10 miles easy
Actual: 10 miles easy (8:30-9 min/mile pace)
Total mileage week 1- 35 miles

Notes:

Long run this morning - well, long for me. I started at 7 from Robert E Lee and ran out expo to meet Lili and Nadine. Nadine was running 22 in preparation for the NY marathon, Lili was doing 16 and Jorge was going to meet us on the way back in to help Nadine finish up. On the run out, I started to remember what it was like to run in the dark on the trail, dodging other runners, tripping on stuff etc. The run itself was fairly inconsequential. I didn't really feel bad at all, but of course an 8:30-9 min pace is not that stressful. It was really fun connecting with some Gazelles on the way back in at the water stop and seeing Patrick Guy and Brenna at the farmers market.
I'll post some stories about those two later.
