This was really freaking far. And more like 23.5k than 22k. But I think it still counts. And it’s the furthest I’ve run before!
L foot was hurting most of yesterday on the outside edge, kind of far back under my arch, and it hurt throughout this run, too, but not enough to call it quits. Stupid? Maybe, but we won’t know for a couple of days.
Overall this felt really good though! Went out towards triple tree from highland glen, turning around at the triple tree parking lot. First half was uphill, second half was downhill, which was a good way to do it. Leahy met me at the parking lot, gave me some water, drove me 1mi up the hill to a closer parking area, and ran the second half with me. Definitely helped me at the end, because those last 2 miles were LONG.
Ate banana bread and brownies at the car after :)

Highland glen trails, to the painted hills trail. Been a while since I’ve ran out this direction! Tried someplace new with Leahy. It’s about 7 miles out to triple tree if you go all the way, so I’m thinking about doing the full thing Friday. I haven’t ever ran more than a half marathon, but this wouldn’t be a race at all, so hopefully it would be manageable at least. Leahy offered to do the second half with me, which I think would be great to have a running buddy on the latter half!

Peet’s our and back, staying on trails as much as possible. On the way up, I felt really low energy and just not good, like I was working really hard and not moving fast at all. The southern uphill was a little better, and then the whole downhill felt a lot better.

Walked around for 40 minutes and spent another 20 minutes or so attempting to longboard. Felt my right knee in both activities, so maybe taking the day off of running was the right call.
