W5 R2 (Short) 3 mi 00:39 13:00 pace
Thank God for the Big Bang Theory.
A run that was neither fun nor stress relieving. To be expected since I forced it out on the treadmill at 8pm after work and then DH ruined my running outside plans. -

W7 R3 (Almost 20 miles) 19.86 mi 04:19 13:03 pace
Needed to go 21, but cut it short after that thunder and lightening show. Rain the first 3 miles, and then POURING rain the last 3. Very strong run all the way through with a faster second half. Wa... read more

Plan was to go for 21 (yes, conflicting info. But I got the ok for it). Wish I could have made it to 21, but almost 20 is almost as good. Just need to make sure that my next 21 is actually all of 21 miles long.
