Gretchen and Mason dropping me early on Friday’s run.Synopsis of Week’s Training:
For reasons I do not recall, I took Monday off. Tuesday, I logged a decent 7.5 miles around Arlington, while I ran home from work on Wednesday. I took Thursday off as my sis and I tried to beat an ice storm down the Blue Ridge Mountains – we did and arrived in Asheville, NC a little after 3 a.m. Friday morning.
The pace of our shakeout run ended up being crazy close to the moving pace on race day (10:04 on Friday, 10:02 on Saturday). Afterwards, Gretch, Mike and I hit a vegetarian restaurant in Black Mountain and then hung at the neighboring coffee shop with Greg Loomis.
Of course, Saturday was the Mount Mitchell Challenge. (My Mount Mitchell Challenge race report.) Sunday my sister and I hobbled around Asheville – no running.
