Whirlwind Saturday

I had to do my 8-mile run without the team on Saturday morning, because I had to go into work for a few hours in the AM. This wasn't a big deal, however, because, as my coach said, it's only an 8-mile run this week. Only. Haha! I have to agree, though. A run of that distance isn't that big a deal anymore.

I went down Delaware Avenue all the way to South Philly and back. I was going about 8:30-8:40 min/mile for most of it. I did the standard 9:00 run/1:00 walk model, and it served me well. I'll do the whole marathon that way. I finished with an average 9-minute mile, even with the stops. I felt great. The rain held off until I was done, and little did I know I had created an awesome MP3 playlist that was exactly long enough for this distance.

Then I worked for a few hours, went directly to looking at a few houses, and then right to the La Salle fundraiser. I was totally exhausted by the end, but it was a fun time. Now me and Becca are off to try on bridesmaids dresses for Tara's big day!!!
