Wow, yesterday was hot! I heard that they had to close the course of the 13.1 marathon in Chicago at 9:45?!?! Wow.... Well, we weren't running 13.1 miles, but we didn't need to go that sort of distance to feel the effects of the sun. Phil and I ran the first annual Harvest 5K yesterday morning. While the course was spectacular, we didn't appreciate the extraordinary hills that we had to tackle. By the end of the 3.1 miles we were DRIPPING sweat and very dehydrated. It was so much fun, though, and Phil (and I) ran the WHOLE thing! I am so proud of him. Another example of a runner overcoming the struggle of asthma. =)
Today we had our final team run (4 miles) and meeting before the Ragnar Relay (200 miles between Madison and Chicago). We'll set out on Thursday night to drive up to Madison, WI and Team Road Runners will start by 6AM running the distance. We should be done and at Montrose Harbor by around 4PM on Saturday. 34 hours of running, no sleep, no showers, extra socks and lots-o-laughs with some fabulous people I love!
Then, after Ragnar is when I really start increasing my long run distances. I can't wait for October!
