Warning Rough Trail Ahead.

Week 9 at Redwood Park.

Another hilly course through the Oakland Hills-6 miles out and 6 miles back. This is our longest run of the season on a trail and we started at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. Running up the hills, I was feeling sort of sluggish and I wonder if it was my diet. I tried to eat more than I'm used to on Thursday and Friday to prepare, but it is possible that I ate too much and/or ate the wrong combination of food. On Friday, I ate a 1/2 chicken omlette, 3 large pancakes, a piece of cake, and a large bowl of pasta. Hmmm...it sounds like too much.

At mile 6, when we turned around, I was running out of energy, but I took a GU and felt alot better after about 1 mile. I was lucky to have Dave, Nicole, and Rocky to run with-they kept me going on the way back on some of those hills with their stories and comments.

Next week another 12
