10 miler....

Another Saturday of running, this time Jason decided he wanted to do the BIG BLOCK (which is the 10 mile loop we do). We decided to park at Panera again. Jason, Chris, and I had a good start...and Chris and I had a good middle....and I had a good end. The boys didn't have it in them today. To Jason's credit he hasn't run 10 miles since Disney, and he really hasn't been running during the week. Chris was just having an off day.

I on the other hand felt good throughout the entire run. My pace felt comfortable and I did all my intervals as they were. I felt good at the end, like I could run more....which is always a bonus. My runmeter (app on my iPhone) quit recording my mileage after 6.82 which is kinda funny. It lost GPS connection and I guess never got it back. I had to estimate my run as I know the loop is 10 miles, but I did a lot of running back to Jason and Chris sometimes to make sure we were all together. I'm pretty sure I did about half a miles worth of back tracking. Totally worth it though because it's nice to run with Jason.

Jason makes me laugh a lot on a run. Mostly he's just an inspiration to me. I've been doing this endurance athlete stuff for awhile, but he's just making his way into this crazy world. He's determination is AWESOME! Today I knew he wasn't loving the run because he started telling us how far 10 miles is in feet. Now I can't do that math in my head when I'm not running, but the boy is a smart one, and I think he helps him when he can engage in something else while getting through the run!!*smiles*

I might just be ready for a nap today!! Not sure I'll get one, but maybe I will.
