4.5 - gerlinda

ah, ye olde 4.5...seems like forever ago that this was a 'difficult distance' to run. i went to the gym & knocked it out during my lunch break. i ran at a 10 MPH pace, and it felt almost - easy. (!!!)

this weekend, i'm supposed to do 8 miles - which is officially longer than i've ever run before. to keep things interesting, i go to mapmyrun.com and plot out a course through some area of town where i've never run before. this weekend, i think R&L and I are going to do a loop from their back door to Piedmont Park, around the park and back. it feels *really* far away and it's hard to believe we can get up there, loop the park, and get back in only 8 miles...we shall see!
