2008- Run 31

HIT 50

Today was simply a spectacular day! It is absolutely gorgeous outside! The temperature is listed as 7 degrees but it has got to be at least 10 degrees with a slight breeze that blew all the clouds away! All the Vancouverites (?) are out and about and it is just beautiful! There were people doing every kind of summer activity you can think of except for maybe swimming! There were people picnicing, boaters, kite fliers, bikers, runners, bocci ballers, bird watchers, frisbee players, field hockey players, walkers, football, soccer, strollers, sand castle builders and dogs galore! Ran past a car show... Mustangs mostly and a Shelby with Arizona plates. Cut up onto Spanish Trail where the Bald Eagles live. Was maybe 25 feet from a big immature one. 

As for the run, well, a 9 miler  in 1:24 puts me up to 50 miles this week! I'm a bit nervous.. I've never done 50 miles in a week before. Next week, I'll only go 40.. so, that will make it (if all goes according to plan):

February: Week 1: 36 Week 2: 51 Week 3: 40 Week 4 :40... weeks 1 and 2 completed!
