I just did a 3.75-mile trail run yesterday. I was very pleased as I've been working on Chi Running techniques and felt that it really "clicked in" on this run. As a result, I started slow and ended with my fastest loop (on our .56 mile trail loop, kinda hilly) ever, since I've been tracking my time, starting in Feb. I wasn't even trying to go fast, but the Chi must have been flowing!
I felt great when I finished and even managed a 3 mile walk with DH and the pup afterwards!
I'm in awe of you ladies doing long runs (to me, anything over 5 miles is long). Someday, someday....
