First and foremost, no, I did not run 20 miles this weekend. My training partner's back is injured and so we chose to delay that run for a few weeks. The good news is, everything's on the mend and we'll be off logging more miles in no time.
I did however go crazy with my running this weekend. I ended up calling another runner on Friday night and we ended up running an "easy" 10 miler on Saturday morning. Sounds good, right? Well, that was my "warm-up" for the 5K race I also ran that morning...
That's right folks, I went out and ran 10 miles at 5am and then ran a 5K race at 7:30am. Why you ask? Truthfully, just to see if I could do it. I wasn't interested in running my best 5K time that morning, I really just wanted to have fun. I still did pretty good considering the pre-race warm-up that I did.
26:07 was my "official" time, however, my watch said 25:59. Whatever the time was, it was still 10 minutes faster than my first 5K ever (3 years ago) and there was no way I was running ANY kind of distance before that race back then.
Back to normal this week and hopefully I'll get that 20 in sooner rather than later!
A side note to my blog tonight, Sarah wanted you to see this of Emma. She was having trouble uploading it to Emma's blog so I put it here. It is pure magic. Enjoy!
