Notes
This was a really solid long run! It would have been easy to have a negative attitude today: cold, afternoon, late night last night. But, at lunch Collin said, "I really want to get after it today, I'm feeling good." I thought about that, and I decided that I felt pretty good today, too (after all, I only had a mile yesterday). So, I decided that I was going to have a great long run, and I did! We had a nice group together, but we split apart pretty early. I was right on the edge, but I said, "YES," and went with the front group. I was definitely straining at some points, and they dropped me for a little while around mile 9, but I got back with the group after we turned out of the wind, and I am happy that I held on for as long as I did. It felt so good to get out there and push myself.
I am going to break 17.
