Ran 7.5 miles tonight in just under 2 hours. I'm so dadgum slow on the trails, but it's the only place I truly love to run lately. On the road I can run 11's easy, but on the trail I struggle to maintain 14-16 min/miles. I have to watch my feet so carefully because I'm a walking human disaster.
I have my first 50K run this weekend in Palo Duro Canyon and I'm super stoked about it. I don't care about time, but am thinking it will take me 8 hours (don't remind me that some of the 50 milers will be done by then).
I'm just out there to get the finish and soak up some time in the canyon. For me it's all about being out there no matter how long it takes.
