A 10 miler on the W&OD trail [08/01/2010]

After the party last night, I did expect us to wake up late.
It rained yesterday, so I didn't expect it to be too hot today.
Beautiful day on the trail. Madhura wanted to run 7M and I 10M. So we went out 3.5M east and back. Madhura took a break there and I continued 1.5M on the west. A thoroughly enjoyable run.
Didn't imagine Madhura would run her 7M. But she surprised me and went through without a sound.
I didn't feel too tired either.
Got back and she was waiting at Starbucks @ Vienna. Both of us gobbled down at Noodles & Co.
In short, a perfect run.

I am not happy with the timing. But the best part was that I enjoyed the run thoroughly. I am sure I can pick it up in due course.
I was successful in doing a negative split though! Thats because Madhura set the pace during the first half.
Meals:
Banana for breakfast + Pad thai noodles + LOTS of water for lunch ... I dunno what I am going to have for dinner.
Sad part is that Frank dropped out of his 100mile run. Thats sad. But the good part is that he did know that his body asked him to stop. And after what he has gone through over the last year, it is a miracle he even mustered up the guts to go for the 100miler. 54M is still a winner for me.
