90 minutes!

Whew! I haven't run 90 minutes straight since spring track! But it felt wonderful! Really, truly, it felt great. And I wasn't tired at all, I could've kept on running for a while. Even mentally, I could've lasted for a lot longer!

So, Brennan and I started out with James and Dan, but then they wanted to go Caroline Path to Centeniall, and we noticed that there is currently a lot of snow on the ground (like over a foot) and decided that running in snow that deep where it is probably not plowed would probably not be fun. So Brennan and I split off and ran the Cliff-Glen-Weston Road loop. It was quite pleasant and beautiful with all the pretty snow! Cliff and Glen were plowed, but apparently Weston does not enjoy plowing their roads, so when we got to Wellesley Street, we literally had to run on the street. But at least these had better footing than the previous sidewalks! When we got to the end of Glen, we went farther into Weston to get more time and ended up circling around their highschool. This was awkward because their track team (I think it was the sprinters) were doing something in the parking lot and it was just awkward. Plus one of the girls was only wearing shorts. WHAT?!?!?!? Anyways, then we turned back. And Brennan had perfectly predicted the times it we would get to landmarks at. (For future reference, it takes apx. 27 minutes from entering into Wellesley and 20 from around David's house). Then we finished up our 90 minutes by the library, and did 6 strides back. This was a bit difficult due to insufficient sidewalk plowing, but we managed.

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD......we only stopped ONCE! (other than crosswalks/lights) and that was for like two seconds because Brennan had to pull up her sock! SUCCESS!!!! I would like to congratulate Brennan on this stellar achievement!

My heartrate this morning was 13.

  1. See how much fun it can be to run 90 minutes without breaks! Also, congratulations to Brennan for wearing longer socks...no more cold ankles/calves!
