23 miles, y’all, and my toes/knees/feet are feeling fine! I ran in Danville with the Nike run club and it was HOT! We started in the park then went through Round Hill Country Club, through Alamo, and all of a sudden were at Rudgear pool in Walnut Creek! I couldn’t believe it! All these places I’d ride my bike to as a kid when my friends lived around there had stayed exactly the same! The llamas over by Walnut Heights pool are gone, but I figured as much. We ran through Walnut Knolls, down San Miguel over by Broadway plaza and Las Lomas then back to Danville on the Iron horse trail. THEN the people who were running 16 miles were done and they got their bananas and bagels at the park. We 22 milers had to see them stop and stretch as we kept going on another loop up through D-ville. That was tough. We ended up with 23 total miles behind us and there were lots of high fives when we got back to the park. I finished the run with two of the neatest ladies- Chris and Aimee- who were the only thing keeping me moving as the temperature rose and the trail seemed to never end. The whole thing made me feel great because now I know I’ll be in fine shape for the marathon! Yay!
