The food and conversation last night were wonderful.

I was wishing I had eaten a few more carbs with dinner last night, since my plan was to run 7 miles. It turned out not to be a factor.
I ran 7.4 miles in just under 1:11 minutes, for a 9:34 pace. That is pretty much the fastest I have ever run. I actually meant to run slower, but I wear my iPhone on my arm while I run, and I couldn't really see my pace.
I headed out on the canal path, where it was just me and a few chipmunks for the first few miles. I saw Jerry (out on an 18 mile run) around mile 4. He gave me some water from his water belt, which was much needed.
My legs felt pretty tired by the end of the run. I like to finish my long runs feeling like I have a little bit left in the tank. It makes me feel better mentally when I add on mileage on the following week.
My total mileage for the week was 13.4 miles. Next week I am aiming for 15.
I'm off to enjoy my Saturday!
I had the best time with you guys last night!!!! You guys are so much fun! Also, I just watched City Island and it was FANTASTIC! I owe you drinks this week! xoxo
