Running at the Crack of Dawn

Last night Mark promised me that if I woke him up early this morning, he would head to the gym with me. He did it!!!

We got to the gym before the Sun, and a running I did go. The track seemed so easy today, and I ran pretty fast. My first mile was in 11:20. No plodding along for me. I was able to maintain a similar pace for the 30 minute run. I ran 2.62 miles. Phew....I was sweating hard out there.

In my head this morning? Portland. I thought only about Portland, and how badly I want to do well there this fall. Can I do 6 hours....if I work hard at it. Otherwise, I would like to simply PR. Can I do it? I was encouraged my a co-worker that I could.

What say you?
