Yup, definitely overdid it today.
I did go to EZ8 class tonight, thinking it would probably be an easy trail run. Wrong. I realized the trouble I was in after we went straight downhill for the first mile. We ran down the Snoqualmie-Preston trail for a bit, then turned around at Lake Alice Road to come back up. There were some jokes about running up the entire way. We all snickered, but inside a little voice in my head said, “C’mon. You can do it. Dooooooo it.”
So not only did I run back up the hill the entire way (the Forerunner suggests it was about a 500ft elevation gain) but I did serveral loopbacks to keep this great gal Carol company. Carol is in her 60’s, and when she started EZ8’s in the fall she couldn’t run a complete mile. Now she’s running it in 14 minutes, has lost about 25-30lbs, and she’s just a great person to talk to.
So I actually ran further than I was supposed to, but I did run the entire way. I was the only one. And I can’t feel my legs. Or my butt. Well, pretty much everything below the waist is numb. I will sleep well tonight.
I put in just under 10 miles today. Yeeesh.
