Baltimore update

mmm.... about an 11 minute mile again. Oh well, so much for running faster. I guess I need to do wind sprints or something.

This 6.8 miles was particularly hard.

I think it was something about the route. It was up and back and with the exception of the round about around Fort McHenry I was running on one side of the street as the really fast runners were coming BACK on the other side. You have no idea the toll this takes on your psyche. You are essentially running, trying to keep going, as all these runners have finished what you have yet to do. There is no barrier to just crossing the double yellow line in the middle of the road and running with them and just skipping a mile or two. Trust me, I thought about it.

But I didn't.

I ran all 6.8 miles and although they were hard, I feel fine today and think I'll go for a run tomorrow or Tuesday.
