10 Miles!!

  • Weather: 70+ degrees, no rain, low humidity
  • Location: Through Garner to Lake Benson
  • Duration: 10 miles (intervals); 2 hr 18 min
  • Average pace: unknown
We made it. I can't believe we ran 10 miles. Calvin and I got up early on Friday to run because we were going to be out of town all weekend and wouldn't be able to run. It was great. We ran down to Lake Benson which was closed b.c they were setting up for the July 4th celebration. We stuck to the trails and ran the park a couple times before Sallie, Jason, and Blake met up with us for their Couch to 5k run. They did really good. Jason continued to run with us for another mile after their 20 minutes was up.

I had a headache on and off Friday and woke up with one on Saturday. I think this is due to electrolyte loss and because I'm not very good at eating after my runs. Got to work on that.

Another little issue that has come up are these tiny little blisters on the tips of my toes. Bodyglide is awesome and I just read that you can use it on your toes to avoid such blisters. I'll give it a try for my next run.

Couch to 5k continues tomorrow, rain or shine. I contacted most of the girls via text on Saturday and was very proud to hear they all ran! This program has gotten off to a good start.
