Do you know what I really love??? It's getting up at 4:27am to my alarm, wanting to just drift back off to sleep instead of exit my house for a February-like March run, but forcing myself to get out there and get my 8 miles (8.1 to be exact) and come indoors get totally undressed and ready to hop in the shower when I hear my husband say "your work called. You are on-call." Meaning, I don't have to be to work in 6 minutes and here I am red patches all over my stomach from the freezing temps-- 24 degrees for my run. Dang, nab it I could have got to 70 miles knowing this. Better yet I could have gotten two hours more of sleep and ran in the sunshine (but that is always risking it, being on-call and all). So what did I do? What any normal JulieC FRB runner would do. I put on a new outfit (certainly NOT going to place my previous clothes back on or I would have froze to death) and decided to run another 1.5 miles. But what's another 1.5 miles. So I decided to run another 4 miles. Now these miles I ran in my altras and ran at RECOVERY pace. My first mile the first time out was a 9:29. The first mile the second time out was 9:12. I sure stiffened up considering my AP the first 8.1 was 8:45mm. The second four miles AP was 8:36. AP total for 12.1 miles = 8:42. I ran a two mile hilly loop x 6. Boring I know but I was sleepy and I needed to know my surroundings. I really wish my heel would let up. But it won't I am sure until I stop running for several weeks. I will do just that right after Boston. Truly I will :D. Btw I was really hungry by the end of this run. I didn't eat much after yesterday's run and I only slept 6 hours. I had run 32+ miles in 20 hours.

Hehe....love it! See your such a strong runner to go put down more miles~ I would have eaten and climbed back in bed! Good job!!!!

Great run Julie! I'm glad you got those extra miles in, and get a Saturday hopefully off.

really wished I knew I was being placed on call to catch in some of these rays and warmth!! Spring is around the corner. AND actually if my IT band/piriformis hadn't been acting up currently I would be out there right now. Luckily it is keeping me sane (with the mileage :D).

You are amazing Julie! Thanks so much for your comment this morning. I got it right before I started my run and it made me so happy. :)

Great job with your 20 miler yesterday. I totally channeled your energy and it helped me push through my run today.

Allie after my 20 miler yesterday on the cinco ciudades trail, I was wondering about a 22 miler....but I just stopped myself....maybe I need to run one just two weeks prior to Boston?? it seemed to have good luck for you :D.
