What a great day! For some reason I thought Em and I usually leave for our long runs at 7:00, but apparently it's 7:30... Whoops... So I woke her up extra early, and we drove to the Sparks stop on the NCR trail. We were both pretty tired and the first couple mins were painful and slow and I was really worried that the run would be miserable. Fortunately, we settled into a good moderate pace, the weather was beautiful (cool and dry) and I felt pretty good until about mile 12. Miles 12 to 18 got kind of painful because my hip flexors were getting sore, so I did take 2 100-step walk/stretch breaks, which helped a TON. Em also really encouraged me and helped me not slow down too much, meaning we ended the day with a solid 18 miles behind us. ^_________^ Then, it was off to: Wegman's, study, countryside drive, and now work again. I'm pretty happy with how today turned out. Sorry no pictures, I am lazy.
Best part of the day: beautiful weather and scenery
Worst part of the day: forgetting Vaseline and the subsequent chafing that ensued at mile 16+
