20 Miles, Take 3

July 29, 2011 by Kristy 18 Comments

7/29/11
20 miles / 2:53 / 8:39 avg pace

Oh happy day! No work, a 20-miler, and a weekend away make for a good Friday.

The weather cooperated somewhat so I was able to finally push the pace.  I’m getting sick of LSD runs.

And some post-run pictures. Yes, I do tend to wear the same clothes each week.  I was trying for a jump pose but that’s impossible to do with a self-timer so instead you get a bunch of missed jumps.

Gotta run (ha)…I need to drop Hawk off for the weekend and finish packing for Baltimore. Get ready for another wedding recap on Monday!

Happy Wedding Eve, Amanda!  I cannot wait 🙂

    Dang, you have alot of weddings this summer!

    What a fabulous 20 miler! That has got to give you lots of confidence. Did you feel like you could keep going at that pace for 6.2 more, maybe kick it up a tiny notch? Because if so, you have your BQ!

    Now go enjoy those Miller beers and that wedding cake!

      If it was cooler, absolutely!! It was still hot today so I’m happy (and surprised) I was able to maintain that pace.

      MLs are gonna taste even better tonight.

    Your “slow” pace is awesome! You are going to rock that marathon and take that BQ!

    Wow. You must still be flying high from a rockin’ 20 like that. Looks like the higher mileage, additional days, and speed work are all paying off. Getting antsy for race day yet?

    WHAT AN AMAZING PACE FOR YOUR 20-MILE RUN!!!! And, um, how come in your post-run pics you still looking rockin’? I’m usually looking hurt.

    If I don’t get my speed back soon, I might just hire you as my coach. ;o)

      You are too kind. I look gross! Sweaty and nasty. I can’t believe I actually post pictures like that!
