I ran about noon today because I spent all morning doing homework.  None of the guys said that they wanted to run today with me so I was on my own again.   I was feeling lastnight's run all morning and was fairly tight in my lower back for some reason?  I took it out easy because I wanted to go 15 miles, and not only did I run lastnight, but my long run was just over 10 for the year. 

I figured I needed some distance and some hills for next weeks race so I went on a modified version of a loop I was donig last year that goes up Providence hill, runs along the bench down in to Millville and back.  The old loop was about 14.6, so I added enough to make it a full 15 miler. 

I felt crappy most of my run, really heavy.  The hills hammered me, and I got attacked by a few dogs in Millville (that I might go take care of later), but I finished.  I feel really tired and my body is wore out, probably from running 25+ miles in 24 hours which I am not used to.  Even though I felt like I was crawling home, I still ran fairly good.  I am glad to get a15 miler under my belt at the first of March, something that I have never done before!

I reached my goal this week, even with a crappy start because of the snow.  I am going for 50 miles next week.

Nice work this week. Sounds like you did the same loop as we did this morning, just backward! I wanted to get my run over with first thing in the morning, but now I wish I ran later with you -- it was freezing out!

Your comment about your back reminded me about my chiropractor's deal for my RDS teammates: you can see him for an exam and first adjustment for free. I just need to give you his card.
