- 5:10 a.m., woke up, said "how can I do this," got a drink of water, went back to bed.
- 5:30 a.m., pulled off the covers and said "let's get this done."
- 6:25 a.m., went out the door to do a bit of a warmup before meeting up with the Boulder Road Runners.
- 30 minutes into my run I realized I'd have to really hustle to get to the BRR by 7; picked up the pace and said "Where'd this come from?!"
- 46 minutes into my run, did not get to the BRR in time; kept hustling in the direction I figured they went in.
- 75 minutes into my run, I spotted Patti and ran back in with her - pace getting faster along with the conversation.
- 1 hour 36 into my run, left Patti, slowed it down a bit, and started devising a route that would finish up with 15 miles for the morning.
- 2 hours into the run, energy flagging, I ate 3 bites of a cliff bar, followed by 2 gum drops with a gatorade chaser - it must be a miracle combination cuz energy levels rebounded in force.
- 2.5 hours into the run, I started devising longer routes vs. short cuts. Maybe it was the cool misty almost snowy morning (along with the cliffbargumdropgatorade elixir) that was working its magic.
- 3 hours and 25 minutes into the run, I decided to rein myself in and headed for home.
- 3 hours 37 minutes, 17 miles, and feeling like, yes, this is doable!
Week-to-date miles: 107 done, 73 to go
