Saturday I had a pretty kick ass long run. My training plan called for 1 mile warm-up, 10.5 miles at sub 9:10 and 0.5 mile cool down. I was short on miles for the week so I upped the distances a bit to 2.5miles of warm-up, 11 miles at sub 9:10 and then 2 miles of cool down.
I ended up averaging exactly 9:00 mins/mile on my long run portion and felt great the entire run! The only bummer was I usually take two gels, a caramel macchiato one and a peanut butter one. But I somehow grabbed the wrong kind when I bought them last and I bought caramel macchiato and salted caramel. I didnt realize till I was out on my run and it was total caramel overload! I couldnt finish the second one and I just had a gross sickly sweet taste in my mouth for the remainder of my run. I usually like to take half a gel around 4, 7, 9.5, and 12.
I kept the indulgences just to Friday night and stayed well within my calories for Sat. I had one drink put the kids to bed and called it a night. Also I saw this on FB and it made me laugh out loud...I cant wait to use this line on my daughter!
Sunday was a day of attending birthday parties with the kids and my first complete rest day in 20 days! It felt pretty good :)
