Put on my new shoes and shorts and headed down to green valley to RRRC for the group run. Three new people there this time and they were amazing runners. Pace was set at 7:12 and by 6.25 I knew I had beaten my 10k record. By 6.5 the group started to pull away. I just couldn't maintain. Ended up finishing strong although I got disoriented at the end and went the wrong way to the finish. Still very happy completing 10 miles in 75 minutes.
Drove straight to anthem to meet up with Vanessa for another 7 miles. She brought me a banana and shared her delicious coconut water with me! (so gross) I refueled then we headed off for a pleasant 7 miles through one of my favorite courses. No music or gps just conversation. The weather was great. Saturday's are turning into my long run days now and hopefully I'll be able to stick with it till the next race.
I ate 3000 calories yesterday and I think it helped me out immensely on my efforts today. Nutrition really needs to become an everyday thing.
Went and drank post run smoothies with V. What a good day!
