80 laps in the LU Hanger

I had commited to running one day a week (Wed) inside in order to get climatized to the heat in Florida. Carol has so kindly joined me for as many indoor runs as she could , misery loves company.
This past Wed we ran 10 miles around in circles (80 laps) at LU. Kathy joined us for the last 12 which was so shocking to see her show up after her workout with Dan.

This week Carol was assigned the job of lap keeper on her Garmin, it does help though if you can see the tinsy tiny numbers on the screen, poor Carol I made fun of her in a friendly way the whole time.
When we were finished it really felt good, we had clipped along and ran 10 miles in 1:46 which is AWESOME!
Even after running like that inside I tend to feel it in my legs but not this time it was the perfect run inside. It didn't don on me until I got home, how quickly we ran that 10 miles and didn't even notice.
Next week might not be so wonderful I'll milk this one until at least next Wed, when we do it all over again!

20 Mile Run to Rosslyn

Last weekend was the big 20 mile run of the Goofy Challenge training, and oh what some sleep and decent weather will do for you. The week before Lynda and I ran 16 miles and it felt like 30 miles. I had worked that weekend and the weather was wet and winding and cold. This past weekend though was awesome, Lynda and I ran from Fresh Air Experience 10 miles out to Rosslyn Village and back again, and it was a great run. I have this problem with my nose bleeding from blowing it, I always have a runny nose when running, I say that it is my brain crying (from running)and when I don't listen it resorts to bleeding instead. It started to bleed at the beginning of the run and then halfway. So I ran with Kleenex shoved up my nose.
When we had gotten out to Rosslyn I thought that we could sneak up on Kathys house and take our picture in front of her place and then facebook it after to see if she noticed where we were, but she drove by us and stopped to chat.
We arrived back to Fresh Air and felt awesome. Ready for race day, nothing better then to share it with a great run buddy.
