I went out for my first 20 miler of CIM training, and man was it a challenge. We kept a great pace (under 8:30) for the first 18, then I really dropped off. My hips and knees ached, and my brain really wasn't firing. I actually tried running on the wrong side of the trail, prompting my friends to make me eat a Gu. I made it back to Bella Bru where we started, and tried to speed my recovery with coffee and a breakfast sandwich. I really didn't get much better all day, though. Ugh. Hopefully next weekend's 22 mile progression run will go better...
Miles this week: 35
Total Miles in 2012: 1098
