My training has been going pretty well the past month or so. Right now I'm struggling with my achilles, although it is getting better. It's still a nagging pain, and has forced me to cut a few runs short.
Friday night I did a long night run. I started around 8pm, and ran until close to 10pm to the top of the HOL. There I met Pete, Josue, Brad, and Ryan for a great stroll through the greenbelt. We hit a few trails that I hadn't ever been on and that I didn't even know existed. These guys are all great runners, it was everything I could do to keep up. I planned on running until midnight, but I was having so much fun that I decided to stick it out until 2am, which is what the other guys had planned. It turns out, we didn't finish until 3am, so I got in close to 7 hours when I only planned 4. On top of the extra time, it was much faster than I realized I could run for 7 hours. These guys didn't seem to be pushing it, but I was working pretty hard to keep up with them.
I was happy with my nutrition, which was my main goal for the evening. I did eventually bonk with about 5 miles to go, but that was only because I didn't have enough food or drink for those extra unplanned miles. Had I prepared for that, I'm confident I could have finished stronger.
All in all, it was a great weekend of running. Now I'm focused on some easy recovery runs so that I can be ready to push it again on wednesday.
