9 miles -- Pedestrian Bridge to I-29 overpass and back
One fun thing about training for an ultra is I can eat shit before/during a run and chalk it up as "digestive training." Tonight: a Double Don and strawberry margarita during happy hour about forty-five minutes before this 9 miler. I actually felt completely fine--better than average even. As of right now I have a lot of disadvantages in attempting to run an ultra (weight, lack of experience, lack of elevation training, etc.). But I feel like my stomach is pretty solid. I can pretty much eat whatever I want before or during a run and digest it on the go.
I know I keep saying it but tonight's weather I feel was absolutely perfect for a run. 45 degrees, clear with a very light breeze. I had the riverfront path completely to myself, except for some creepy coyote/dog thing I'm pretty sure I saw lurking in the darkness. Might have to invest in some mace for these types of night runs.
