20 miler…..check

March 22nd, 2008 , 9:00 am by Michelle Halsne

Good decision to run today.  Perfect weather about 36 degrees at start worked its way up mid 50s over the run.  Was able to run the first 13 in sub 8/mi pace.  Kind of fell apart after 17, but very happy overall.  Lisa, Andrea and I all hit our goals or even beat them.  The other 2 will go to Boston next month and boy are they ready,  looking strong and fit! 

I now have less than 100 days to wrap up my preparations for Western States….crunchtime.  I decided today that I need to use something other than GU for refueling, it is fast becoming a little repulsive to me on the long runs.  I will experiment with other gels, fluids etc… 

Daughter Beth gave me 18 new songs for the race my favorite “Roll” by Flo Rider…great base!

    Hey Michelle, Your might try shot blocks by Cliff. They are like gummy bears sort of.

    Good job today. You went all out! Glad you are feeling better.

    I like fresh made burrittos, but I bet yours is a frozen chemical burritto. Eat Happy !
