Good afternoon!<br><br>
I'm back from my camping trip where I did a whole lotta nothing. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"> Well, I did run yesterday morning, but otherwise mostly sat around and either chatted w/ Mom and Shirley or read a book. I read 2 complete books this weekend, got sunburned on my knees in the process.<br><br>
I was scheduled to run 9 miles yesterday, so since I wasn't going to really be able to plot out a route, I basically planned to run for 1:40-1:45 which was my expected finish time for that distance. I was able to do this in the campground itself as it was pretty spread out. The campground was on a bit of a ridge and I ran down to the beach early in the run. So coming back up was almost 0.5 mi up pretty steady uphill. That sucked. The rest of the run, even with rolling hills, wasn't too bad. Ran 1:39:50 without stopping, my longest non-stop run ever. Pretty pleased by that. It's also my longest run without refueling with sport beans or something.<br><br>
So, anyway, I'm feeling more ready for The Crim next weekend than I was feeling a few weeks ago when I wasn't getting in any weekday runs. My goal for that race is 1:50.<br><br>
Sounds like we had a lot of great races and runs this weekend. Congratulations to <b>Korbels, Maria, Moonie, EQ, Maples, Moe</b>, and anyone else I may have missed.<br><br><b>Crane-</b> hope the dizzies go away!<br><br><b>KJ-</b> I hope you can drop the balls very soon. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br><b>Maples-</b> congrats on finally completing C25K!
