Yesterday morning hubby and I headed out for a 15K (9.3mi) run together. This was the longest distance he has run since his race and also the longest distance we have run together in several months. We kept it comfortable, enjoyed the beautiful morning (short sleeves and capris/shorts in November!) and had a great run.
I had an ice bath after the run and refueled properly, doing the best I could to recover adequately for a long(er) run the next day.
This morning I met up with several friends from my training group, many of whom who are going to Goofy as well, a little north of here. We had a scenic route in the country planned which would offer quieter roads and pleasant views. And hills. Big ones. (What else is new?)
The run went really well. I expected to be more worn out than I was, since I generally take a day off or go for a short run the day before a long one. My legs were a little sore during the last 10K, but my energy level was great and I was even able to pick it up toward the end. 25K (15.5mi) done.
40K (24.8mi) in 24 hours. Still a long way to go til Goofy, but a definite confidence-booster.
Hope you all had a great weekend! I have some exciting news to share this week so stay tuned. I'll catch up with everyone soon!

That is great. I must have either missed that you were doing Goofy, or just totally blanked (which is common for me nowadays). That's awesome! I always thought about trying it when I lived down there.
Yes, those back-to-back runs are key to doing Goofy. Well done and look forward to hearing the exciting news you speak of!
