Planet SMOOTH

Big day today, 10 miler. Easy pace, just get the miles in. Todd, D, and I met up at the Clemson Track. D and I would run the planned 10 miles, then Todd would push onward and upward to the 20 mile level in preparation for IM Florida.


I felt good, clean and crisp. I haven't run 1:40 min. in a very long time, not since I completed my first and only 1/2 marathon a year ago in Myrtle Beach. I'm not going to lie, at an hour or so in, I did get tired. My endurance is not quite there yet, which is ok. Officially marathon training does not start until Nov. 1st. Everything completed now is icing on the cake, bonus. I gave myself a quick pep talk, downed some delish GU gel and forged on.


Best part of the run? Planet Smoothie, courtesy of Danette. A frozen goat never tasted so good. Coffee beans, chocolate, banana base = yummy in my tummy.



Looking forward to setting up an official training schedule soon, working in conjunction with the book Run Less, Run Faster based on the Furman FIRST training program.


I am ever so blessed!
