So happy to have run my 13.1 (.2 actually, accidentally) on Saturday!
Because I couldn’t sign up for the race in time, and had trained so hard - it was very depressing knowing I wouldn’t be running it.
SO (see prev. post) on Saturday, Mom and I went down to the canal… she biked and I ran, and I timed 116 minutes for the whole thing, including water and bathroom breaks and a detour (jogging) looking for the bathrooms (couldn’t find them at the rest stop!) … I’m VERY pleased with that time. I thought I would be so much slower! 
(that’s about an 8:50 per mile).
It was very funny having her call out my times to me - the first mile I ran under 8, the second was a 9:10, the next was an 8:10, and then a 7:50… I wasn’t very consistent until I got past the first 5 or 6 miles.
It was PERFECT weather (sunny, no humidity, slight breeze, and about 60 degrees with firm, soft dirt to run on rather than pavement)… I am very pleased with the run and look forward to training on the C&O some more for the Marine Corps Marathon in October.
Hooray!
