My longest run – ever.

So, I was supposed to meet up with Helen and some other gals from the Colorado Springs Women’s Running Group. I fell asleep early last night, and didn’t get all my stuff prepared.

So this morning was a “Where’s my hydration belt? Where are my keys?” kind of morning.

For some reason, I thought I had Helen’s cell number in my phone, so imagine my surprise when I got there and I didn’t!

I started around 8:20 AM and just went out Sinton to GOG, then did a small out and back in GOG and came back for 15 miles, took me just under 3 hours plus bathroom stops.

I’ve never been out that way before. I think I might have messed up because I ended up on the sidewalk of GOG Road. I don’t really like the Sinton Trail. It’s all paved. And it’s not very pretty. And there’s this spooky tunnel you go through. I think I’ll stick to the Greenway.

It was close to 5 miles when I got to GOG. Then I went out on the trails for additional mileage so that when I got back to the car, I would be done.

On my way back, it was getting colder and windier. Then, it snowed on me! I can’t believe how cold it got near the end. Brrr!

My hands are *still* cold. We’re headed out to the Aquatic Fitness Center to go swimming. I definitely need to get in the hot tub, even if it’s just for 10 minutes.

But, surprisingly, I felt pretty good near the end. I ran nearly the entire distance. It’s amazing with carbing up with Thanksgiving dinner and a good night’s sleep will do for you!
