twelve

I woke up on saturday morning to find I had no gu's in the house. not a good thing with a twelve mile run ahead of me. so I did what any self respecting runner would do, create a route that involved the running store. it was a brilliant idea. not only did I get my gu's, but I had a change of scenery as well. I bought like eight even though I really only needed one. they were all bouncing around the pockets of my fleece vest. it was a little out of control, but I dumped the rest off once I got back to the baby pug tree to finish out the miles. it all worked out like a charm.

the weather was a little cold, and though I may have been slightly underdressed it wasn't intolerable. my legs did okay until the last few miles. they started to cramp up, but that wasn't intolerable either. and really I should've expected it--or worse--since again I had such a low mile running week due to all the fabulous hot yoga. all in all, it was a great run. I've really been enjoying the long runs lately.

12 miles; baby pug tree north, 17th to 11th/highland, baby pug tree south, baby pug tree west

Welcome to the Complete Running Network blogosphere. You'll find others dropping by to say hello.

Way to go with the yoga. I need to do something like that to get my stretching.
