4 miles turned into 11 (like magic)

11  miles
10:52 pace

We started out with a slow 4 mile run in mind.  Somehow, that morphed into a slow 8 mile run.  Before we knew it, we had gone past the turn around point & turned it into a slow 11 miles.  It was great!  This doesn't happen often.  Usually, just a couple of times per year.  Why not take advantage of it?

{the good}  Everything felt great.  I love running at the 11 minute pace.  It's MY pace.  I could run for miles and miles and miles at that pace.  As a matter of fact, that's my plan for the upcoming marathon.  I'm more than willing to knock it back to 12 or 13 if need be!  Whatever it takes to cross that finish line, baby.  Whatever it takes.

{the ugly}  I'm pretty sure I talked Kent's ear off the first 7 miles. lol  At that point, I plugged in my ipod in order to get up the big ugly hill I hate so much.  So I listened to music for the remainder of the run.  I'm sure he was happy to let me zone out for a few miles. lol

PS....please don't forget to vote for me.  I would so appreciate the vote!  Voting closes at midnight February 15th, 2012.  The Best of Clark County will be announced in a special section that publishes on Wed.
