So its a new year and time to start running again. I have signed up for a 1/2 marathon in Vancouver, WA on Jan. 25th so I need to get some miles in. I started easy by getting on the bike trainer for 45 minutes and doing some circuit training on Thurs. On Friday I went for a run knowing that I had a long run on Saturday. The thought was that my longest run over the last 3 weeks after the Marathon was 5 miles so I would do 7 on Friday and then 9 on Saturday. Got the 7 in on Friday and when Saturday came, I went for 13 miles. Not any normal road run but a trail run with lots of elevation gain and cold temps. It was 10 degrees at the start. Not so sure it warmed up too much over the course of 2 hours but it was clear and sunny so that made it nice. The run was slow and methodical with some walking. It was obvious that the mileage was a bit much for my out of shape body but thats what this run was all about. Badass for your Fatass at the Badlands. It was to inspire people to walk/run off their added holiday pounds. Katie, Michael and I opted for the 13 miles while Coach Andy went for 22, he's fast and has a marathon coming up. We all enjoyed some treats and Hot Chocolate or coffee after our runs. No results, it was a fun run. Sunday was a day of rest after 3 days in a row of hard work.
