Saturday was a nine-miler. It was a little windy, but I felt GREAT for the first 7. The last two I struggled with a bit, but all in all it was a wonderful run. Because it was such a great run, I was really looking forward to my run yesterday (Monday) because I knew it would be a simple 3 miles. Was I ever wrong!
I decided to run my dirt trails instead of running out at the lake so I laced up my Rykas and away I went. I forgot how much harder it is to do the hills and the sharp turns. It definately slowed me down and shortened my stride. I did, however, appreciate being out in the trees and listening to the birds fussing, the squirrells darting to and fro and the wind blowing the leaves!
Asics: 13 so far this week, 50 total
Rykas: 400 plus, +3

There’s something about nine miles. I always feel so accomplished at that ninth mile. It’s long enough to be a solid challenge but it doesn’t kill you or make you agonize over it. It’s unique to anything less and anything more. I think i’ve discovered that a nine mile run might be my favorite during training.
The best part about a nine miler (for me) is that it’s 9.1 miles around the lake that I run!
