This weekend Marty and I did 20 consecutive miles... and we survived! This was the longest we ever ran. As usual we did this out at Crystal Springs, at the six mile (one-way) course. We had to meet up at 6:55 in order to put in eight miles before the rest of PARC showed up at 8AM. Kramer ran the remaining 12 miles with us. Sadly it was his last run with PARC for a long while, as he is leaving for freshman orientation at college at Harvey Mudd.
Here's the cool news: we ran the whole thing at 7:47 average pace. Not too shabby! The last two miles kind of sucked, but we made it back in one piece. Besides the accomplishment of actually completing 20 miles, the next thing I am excited about is that I did not wake up stiff the next day. Sure, the remainder of Saturday was crappy (I slept from noon until 3pm) but on the whole, I felt fine. Perhaps sitting in the massage chair at work had something to do with my recovery. ;)
