Rain last night after the monsoon passed. Not as humid as 90%, but more than I am used to living in the desert.

+ 7 over the last two runs

5.4 miles, was supposed to be a shakeout run from yesterday's efforts, but I was able to keep a really good (for me) pace. I'm very pleased with where my running fitness is right now.

14.1 miles on a trail called the Crooked Lake/Potawatomi trail. Longest run I've ever done. Just so happens most of this trail is used for an ultra I want to run next year. Fairly technical for a Michigan trail, lots of roots, sand, coarse gravel, loose rock and poor footing. Few of the hills are more like small cliffs, too steep to run gotta walk/use your hands. The humidity was again awful. I ran it like an ultra as well and kept my pace where I'd want it for a 50 mile run...2hr 37 minutes was my finishing time.

Lessons learned was basically that I need to carry a small jar of vaseline cuz I ended up chapped betweem the legs and had a hot spot on my right foot.

Congrats to Trauma on hitting a new PR distance. I remember the first time I did double digits (10 miles). I thought it was such a big deal, and now I try to do 10+ every week! It's amazing how one's perspective changes over time.

Thanks.

Just for a little perspective for you Jan 4th of this year is when I started running. Could barely do a half mile on a track before I was too winded. Almost exactly 9 months later I can do a 14 mile training run on a moderately technical hilly trail and basically only walk the uphills and not only that but negative split the last 3 miles (29:41) vs first 3 miles (31:23)

I'm loving the fact that I continue to push myself to do things I never thought I could. It is a great personal feeling.

Great to hear stories like that. About 2 years ago, when I started running more seriously, in large part to do something about my weight, I NEVER would've guessed I'd do the times or distances I'm capable of now.

Keep chasing amazing. You have no idea how far you can go.
