best 10 miler

tuesday, my man came along with me on the run and had to motivate me just to get 3 miles done. i was hungry, my legs felt weak, and it was so hot out.

wed, there was no time to run. :(

thursday i ran 6 miles - 4 miles with my 12yo and 2 more on my own. she struggled in the heat as i did tuesday. we ran to the trail i found last saturday so part of it was shaded. i went through 37 oz of water for 6 miles. the heat was on!

today i ran 10 miles. the.best 10 mile run i've had in a long time. i dug deep and ran 7 of those miles on a winding, rolling hill trail loop. i just got in the zone and kept the pace at 9 to 9:15 and sometimes in the mid 8's and had a fantastic run. even on my last mile and a half running home i was in the upper 8's. there's nothing like running with a smile on your face! :)
