24 with a close

A short update on the first of this weekend's runs...

24 this morning - First 10 with Dionn (who gave me a shout out in her blog, thanks!) on the Eastside loop. We ran pretty conservatively to be sure to have energy to finish. Next, we added the St.Eds loop. I did the 13.4 mile version to make my total 23.4 for the day. I have to admit that I was jealous of Dionn doing 20 when she turned off to head back to the cars, but not jealous about the super long bike ride she has to do tomorrow for her ironman training. Good Luck!!! I finished the run today with a faster close...miles 19-22 were 7:40 or faster.

The numbers...

10 miles, 1:30:54 (9:05 pace)
13.4 miles 1:55:27 (8:37 pace)
Total 23.4 miles 3:26:21 (8:49 pace)

3 bag ice bath - 5 minutes sitting in the tub while it filled with cold water, 20 minutes with 3 ice bags, 5 minutes letting the water drain. BRRRR!!!!

Tomorrow...racing the Capitol 10k. I've got a goal. Hopefully my exhausted legs will cooperate with my mind.
