(Socks, tights, vest, shirt, footwear) All the time grateful that persons are keen to spend their Saturday morning doing this as a result of it makes it a lot simpler to get out the door. I doubt I’d have ever met any of those wonderful individuals if it weren’t for working, bringing us all collectively. 
I’m the kind of one that freaks out about change relating to sure issues (i.e. working). I most likely would have by no means determined to race a flat marathon with out the Metropolis Sightseeing group inviting us to go to Seville for the marathon. I all the time thought hills (particularly downhill) have been my energy, and the thought of a flat race terrified me.
Not anymore. I’m offered. My physique feels a lot much less beat up after a future/exercise on flat roads. I’m completely hooked on locking right into a tempo and simply gliding. It seems my routine mind loves the monotony of flat, haha. My calves have been sore after this exercise, which was attention-grabbing to me as a result of my calves are by no means sore from working?!
Some areas had quite a lot of ice, however we discovered a 17-mile loop that was ice-free, and I feel we will likely be right here typically throughout the winter.
The exercise aim was 3 mile w/u, 7 miles @ 7:00, 4 miles @ 6:30, c/d
We did 7 miles @ 6:55 common, a brief toilet break, and 4 miles @ 6:23
Sadly, the brand new route doesn’t have water alongside the best way, which we discovered Saturday, and needed to cease for some at a restaurant. We will likely be bringing bottles with us on this loop now.
I’m so grateful Lauren is again.
