Restoration Run

WTC training has been going well and I've loved nearly every minute of it. Last week, however, was a real downer. Got sick with a terrible bronchitis and barely ran at all. Had an 18 miler planned on Saturday which I had originally organized (which Diane so graciously took over for me, thank you!), so I had to be there. After a few days on antibiotics I started feeling alittle better.  On Saturday I definitely wasn't back to normal, but I wasn't coughing my head off and the fever was gone. Ran a nice easy pace with Shannon, who ran another strong long run :) It turned out to be such a beautiful, relaxing day.

I was so worried I had lost fitness, but, except for the hills, I felt strong.  I tried to experiment with eating a snickers bar at the halfway point, but that wasn't a good idea. We had to make alittle trip to Sterling Point to use the bathroom. Shannon soaked in the sun while waiting for me

We had a great crowd, many ran to the ADO. I was sad I couldn't do the point to point, but was so grateful to have gotten in 16 1/2 miles, when my plan B was 14 miles.
