Trail workout with the ladies

May 18th, 2008 , 7:00 am by Michelle Halsne

Went out to Cougar Mountain with Andrea andrea@sweat365.com  and Sarah.  It was so nice to have their company on the trail.  It was Andrea’s longest run since finishing and re-qualifying for Boston at Boston. 

As per my usual while running on the trails the intended run of 90 minutes turned into more than 2 hours.  Luckily we all brought fluid and gels this time.  I had a tri-berry GU and some sport beans (orange).    I learned that I can handle GU again after a short time where it made my sort of  icky feeling.  I still am struggling with the texture, so I will stay away from GU until the 100.

I was also was attacked by a squirrel, very embarrassing to scream hysterics on a tranquil trail, however entertaining is may be to your running partners.  I love to run on the trails…..even better with the best running partners a girl can have.
