Fell asleep at 930 pm after a fun-filled day of skiing yesterday and woke at 3 am in the mood to run.  Like really?  You've got to be kidding?  I tried to fall back to sleep, to no avail.  Kim, Jane and Kerri were running 15 miles at 5am so I thought maybe I could hold out til then.  Sometimes my initial feelings for running are crushed with a zap of tiredness.  But I was still wide awake an hour later.  I figured I might as well get up and go for 20 miles today.  I ran over to Kim's the long route starting at 443am for 2.2 miles and met up with Kim and the others.  We ran a route Kerri had mapped out for us with varying terrain from PG, AF, Highland, and Cedar Hills.  At first the sky was crystal clear with the stars shining and then the storm rolled throughout the run as the winds picked up and the snow began to flurry.  Seriously?  First day of Spring tomorrow and this is what we get today?  It seemed the storm cloud followed us on our route.  Ran their 15 mile loop and took off at the end for another 2.8 miles to get 20.  Avg pace 8:08 for the 20 miles.  The splits:  8:38, 8:23,   group start 8:29, 8:34 (uphill), 8:25, 8:01, 8:17, 8:33 (uphill), 8:23, 8:03, 8:10,  8:11, 8:20,  8:15,  8:02,  7:45 ( sl. downhill), 7:34 (downhill), 8:08,  7:28,  7:19 (uphill finish : ()  )    Ate two gus.  Needed them.  Nerve pain in thighs came on around 13 miles.  C'est la vie.

Nice 20-miler Julie! 3am yuck! Way to finish fast too!

Great run! What is nerve pain in the thighs? Fatigue or tightness or soreness? Nerve's deliver all those messages right? Well, good job pushing through.

NAN-- I describe it as pulsating pain from my sciatic nerves from my lower back to my buttocks to my hamstrings to my outer hips...I'd call it pulsating because it is "cramp like" as it comes in waves of sharper pains. Pelvis bone burns. Like labor pain but obviously NOT labor. No fatigue. In fact if I didn't have this pain I could run better, it kind of works on my mind over body tricks.

20 miles in the middle of the night w/ snow flurries, wind and all? I hope you got a nap in today! You're amazing! Hope you get rid of those annoying nerve pain.
