I'm so proud of hubs Erik for the awesome job he did pacing--he really had a great experience. It might have given him the ultra bug just a little bit, but as for me--no way--if anything it made me more sure that I am NOT cut out for that! Haha!

Slow & Low 5.08 mi 00:51 09:56 pace
Easy pace run--it felt great to be up and moving. This isn't usually a running day for me, but hubs is working his Cowtown 26.2 plan so I tagged along. It was a creepy morning with the fog!

Glad Eric had someone to keep him company! I stepped outside, saw the fog, and creepers came to mind & freaked myself out. I ended up going in and doing squats, lunges, and pushups instead.
