Not quite 11 Saturday

I realized I forgot to get my run blog posted for yesterday...sorry. The legs have been sore, but it has been something that I am hopeful I can work with. The orignal plan was to do 11. It snowed quite a bit of the day Friday and some of that night. By the time I had woken up Saturday, the wind and snow had really made for some deep white stuff. Many people had not cleared their walks, and large chunks of the campus were covered in snow. I was a human snow plow for much of the run. I most definitely was very tired by the end. I also added a couple of bridges to try to push the effort level. Usually I would feel bad about hitting 10.52 miles rahter than 11, but I am sure the effort was much higher than the miles would indicate. Any run over 10 miles is something to be happy about. And although it was not easy, I am glad to have accomplished it. I will add a few more miles this week and see how I feel by Friday for my long run of 17 on Saturday. My time was 1 hour, 51 minutes, and 55 seconds. A bit off pace, but again, I was pleased with the effort. Thanks for reading.

  2. Glad things seem to be improving! Good run, and you are right about adverse conditions and mileage. Time/effort are key, and you ran much more than the equivalent of 11 dry miles!
