Awesome Saturday

20 miles - Scary Saturday turned into Awesome Saturday! It was a great run, Staci, Jonna, Kris, Sam and I ran about 12 miles together and then Coach Kevin got Staci, Jonna and I through the last few miles. I felt great and the weather was perfection. I'm so happy this run went... well, it went as amazing as it could have! The crazy part is that I'm always concerned about digestion, so I sorta didn't really eat dinner the night before, or ummm breakfast (since it was a 6am run). So I had some popcorn for dinner and that's it. I was concerned about having the energy needed for the run but I'm usually more concerned about the digestion issues I've had along the way. So... amazingly enough, I had plenty of energy; I was really ready to be done about mile 19, but even had a great kick at the end the last 1/2 mile. I used Clif Bar Energy Bloks, black cherry flavor and shared with the girls as well, I paced myself with these and also made sure I had water at every rest stop. I REALLY like these, I was first turned on to them at the San Fran group run as they had them at the aid stations. Big fan, try them if you haven't already! Their a bit like Dots candy... same texture. And if you know me at all, you know I'm a big fan of candy, esp. gummy candies. :-) So, I had a great run, took a nap and then went to see friends that stayed with me last night(the amazingly cute Olive & Oliver) at a Bacon Fest party they were having with all things Bacon. Yep, ice cream and cookies with bacon included. LOL. How's that for a follow up to a long run! Then I went to a graduation party on Sat night for one of my old wiiingsta's, Savannah Herr. I got to also see her sister Hannah! Yay Hannah, always so wonderful to see her and hear how things are going in Boise. Hannah was on the Wiiings team in Boise, so I have had the pleasure of working with both of these wonderful sisters. My best wishes to Savannah as she embarks on her post grad journey!
