The Mile Nine Club

So last night, Team Chelada regrouped for another long distance run. We were in full force (minus Janee who is currently suffering from a soccer injury,) but Kirk filled in for her. Kirk is just starting this running adventure, so he hung for 4 miles while we continued on to rock a solid 9 miles. The most I had run to date was 7 miles last week, so this was a new record for me. I had studied the course map prior to running and am well aware of the elevation points of the track, but I didn't realize how intense they were until I was on foot. Luckily, I had some disgusting Power Bar Energy Gel to keep me going up all those hills. This was a pretty brutal run, and it definitely took me awhile to get in my groove. My knees are sore today, but that's about it. My muscles don't hurt, I can just tell my body is fatigued. I'm looking forward to my night off so Chris and I can hit the cement again in the morning.
