Today's Long Run - 2006-03-26

Good thing I had signed up for this 20-mile training run with the Vertical Runner gang. I needed the motivation. After yesterday's runs and yesterday evening eating and staying late at Iris and Mike's, I felt really lousy. But after the 100 or so of us got going, I felt even worse. At about mile 6 I finally began to feel human again and picked it up, finishing strong. This run was down into and out of the valley twice, so there were plenty of hills. I averaged something like 7:45, stopping my watch at the aid stations. Met some new folks from Chagrin Falls who were running with Eileen Meisler.
