Yabba Dabba Do!

No Barney Rubble by my side, but I'm kicking up my heels like Fred Flintsone, shouting "Yabba Dabba Do!"

I just finished a 16.1 mile run!  That is the longest distance I've ever ran, by 2 miles.  I practically stalked the thermometer this morning, so anxious to run.  The bright sunshine was deceiving, registering only 22 degrees  By mid-morning, it was up to 35, so I headed out to my favorite trail from East Peoria to Morton.  Sorry, no pretty pictures this morning... I was all business.

Most important, the run felt really good on the body and mind.  The trip took me 2:42 with a 10:03 average pace.  I can't say the pace was exactly steady...  The first part was uphill with cold wind in my face, but I made up that time on the way home.  I felt really strong the last couple of miles.  Of course, downhill will do that to you.  I practiced my fueling with two GUs and a handful of jelly beans, which worked out perfect. I also learned the max time for an iPhone battery using GPS and the ipod.  It died right after I stopped.

After chocolate milk, foam rolling, stretching and a hot shower, I'm still smiling!  :)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
