Double Digit Day

This weekend was great for training my legs but mentally it was the hardest struggle.

I started with the mission to break the 10mile hurdle. I wanted to do this Saturday but had no partners. I ended up doing Mt Wilson with two ultra runners. (those who love to run beyond marathon distance 30+ miles) I had to turn around at 3.5 miles due to heat; it was 90+ degrees on the mountain. My hike up and run down gave me a HARD 7 for the day. Probably the hardest run I have ever done.

Sunday morning is the club run and still sore from Saturdays challenge I pushed myself out the door and set out to do my 10 in better weather and trail conditions(flat). My "favorite" trail has become the Arroyo Trail off the Rose Bowl.

1:55:33 later I stopped my Garmin with 10.01 miles completed. One water blister and many sore msucles but I finally broke my 10mile hump.
