This picture was taken at about the 8 mile mark. I ran out of steam about mile 12 but made it in to finish the 14 miles as planned. The feet were sore and the legs but a few minutes in the ocean immediately afterwards really helped the recovery process! The weight after the run was 215 but I blew it on the diet over the weekend.
Well this picture was the highlight of the day! Two great ladies and biscuits and gravy! The run was out in horse country in eastern North County and was fun as I'd never been to that area. Always fun to see a new area! The run was not my best but I did it! Weight still hovers about 219. Hopefully I'll get below 215 this week after I pound out 14 miles this Saturday! It's a coastal run around Torrey Pines State Beach area north into Del Mar and back. I'm blessed to have such a beautiful setting to run in and such wonderful friends and sponsors. These two gals are friends & mentors! Thanks to all for your encouragement.
Well it was the longest this run this year! My toe hurt and swelled nicely after run but I made it the whole way. I felt super until about mile 8 then I was melting. Weight after finishing 215. Weight Monday AM not good. I splurged. Hard diet week to follow with extra training. 
A long run but only made 9 of the 10 miles. I think I broke or fractured my toe and it started throbbing at the 4.5 mile mark. It was time to head back! Weight at 219 and working lower. speed over ground increasing with goal of 11:30 minute mile as the goal. Feeling better on the runs!! Thanks for the continued support!!
