This Saturday we are scheduled to run 16 miles. I couldn't join the Roadrunners because Michelle and I are doing the Communications: Power to Create Course at Landmark.
Danielle, my trusty running partner agreed to to run with me on Thursday night so that I had someone to run with and it was so great.
We set off at about 3:30 and ran down Rose, along Main St, up Abbot Kinney, down Washngton, along Pacific to Marina Del Ray, back along speedway and the beack up the Santa Monica Pier, then to the end of Palisades park, up Adealiade to 7th and then up San Vincente to 26th, across 26th, down Montana and then right along 4th back home.
Now if you don't live in LA, what that means is that we ran across four suburbs and ran just under 30kms. It was such a great run, we talked the entire way and both felt really good. The last 10 minutes for me was a bit tough but the motivation of being home soon carried me through.
After the run we ordered dinner and I absolutely crashed. I felt like I was slipping in to a coma and I couldn't eat or even talk. soooo tired.
I went to be at about 10pm and it took my hours to fall asleep. I was so pumped and proud of myself for completing the run and my mind was racing. My body on the other hand so was sooo tired. I got so frustrated that I couldn't fall asleep that I started crying out of sheer exhaustion.
It is funny how emotional you get when you are that tired and when you push your body to new limits. Good emotional detox.
Thanks so much to the ever intrepid and committed Danielle for running with me
