Ridiculous run?

So on Thursday afternoon, I reviewing the instructions for our progressive run and I'm thinking that it is ridiculous...is it even achievable?  We ran up Far West (with a little extra side loop that was still up) and further up Far West and then back down North Hills.   MGP...HMGP...12K pace...yeah, right!  One reoccuring theme for me is..."this is so much harder than what I have done with Rogue in the past".

I have made kind of a drastic change to my diet so wasn't sure how i would feel.  Wondered if I would hit the wall half way around.  

Nailed MGP, a few seconds slow on HMGP but nothing awful and then got my butt spanked on the 12K loop.  I was pleased with the run...stayed close to Javi the whole time and ran smart.  My legs were feeling the up on the third lap and it was hard to convince them to run hard down North Hills the third time.  All I can say...way better than Tuesday.

I had plenty of energy so that was good.  Mentally I used that run the remind myself that saturday should feel easier.  Now, if the wind would just go away!

Great job staying off the DC. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you stay on track with the fruits and veggies. You know you run great when you are eating well! m
