Well, not really a twister, but I got a call from my husband today while I was running saying that hail and tornadoes were headed my way. I wondered if I should continue my run or pack it in next time I ran by my car. I was running with the Big River Training Team, and the folks I was running with urged me to keep going, so I did. Turns out we just got sprinkled on a little bit, but husband's phone call sparked interesting conversation about tornadoes and bad weather for the rest of the run. I told my exciting story of being in a tornado when I was in college at Mizzou. I won't go into it here today, but maybe some other time.
Today, I had an 18 mile run with my last 4 miles at marathon pace. We pushed the first 14 a little faster then I would have liked averaging 9:45. I was concerned that this would make it difficult for me to hit race pace on the last 4 miles, but I ended up averaging 8:19 for the last 4, so that made me pretty happy.

Great job. I was wondering if you got caught in the storm. I got caught in the hail on my bike (I will update TP today) - that is what I get for getting up late!
ReplyDeleteYour running stories inspire me. Not quite enough to run that much myself, but inspiring nonetheless.
