So first of all, before you think that no one can change, people can change....for the last 10 years or so I've been a white wine, mike's hard lemonade type of girl...now all of a sudden I am loving red wine, it's bizarre but I'm going with it!
Normally I wouldn't suggest to people to drink wine and eat cheese cake and chocolate covered strawberries before a long run but it was a really good and I woke up at 5am feeling ready to eat my breakfast and rock out. Thank you my friend for opening her home...sometimes sitting on the floor and chatting with friends over delicious food is exactly what we need!
So today I did 18 solo miles...but I did it on my favorite side of town, on routes that I've done a million times. I was in a really mental place and physically felt good too. Lot's of climbing and some rollers and some flat stretches too. I did a 11.67 mile loop and then another 6.33 or so. My pace averaged a 7:33 which makes me super happy, that's exactly where I like to be for marathon training! It helped too, that I had water out there and gatorade, thanks to another friend who stuck it out there for us.
All in all a great run!
Tomorrow, to the pool!
