9 miles!
We went out today, the classic cold fall day, planning to run 8 miles. As we neared the end, I figured we only needed .2 more to get 8.5 and I wanted to run across the resevoir instead of walk so we’d get there faster. My knees hurt at the end, and stretching really helped- but I can tell they’re going to be sore tomorrow. After getting home and sitting down to mapmyrun.com I realized we’d do 8.9 miles!
It felt great, especially because of the cooler air and our good 10 minute mile pace I stopped feeling like I had hardly started.
The park is just starting to reach it’s fall peak and running through all the various changing trees is lovely and helps push us on.
I feel really ready to do the 1/2, especially since I ran 9 miles without even realizing it!
