Today we did our five-mile run. Once again we ran down the Great Highway and back, this time to just past Vicente. We had a bit of trouble sticking to our 14 minute/mile pace—our second mile was 12:20! Oops! But we slowed down our successive miles and finished only a few minutes ahead of schedule. It was perfect running weather, once we got going—high clouds, light breeze, cool and sunny. But it's always awfully cold waiting around under the trees in the wind for the runs to begin. Makes us eager to get out there and work up a sweat!
Afterwards, I headed off to run home, another five and a quarter miles or so. Managed to stick to about a 14 minute/mile pace, despite going out too fast on the first five miles. And I felt good, which was encouraging, considering that my stomach's been wonky ever since the 20-mile run last Sunday, and I've only been able to eat normally for the last couple of days. I'm glad it was a short run this weekend, though!
My fundraising is off to a good start. I've made about $90 in donations from my eBay charity auction, and received $150 in other donations. Only $2860 to go! Thanks so much to my generous donors!
