Onto the long run. I hadn't sleep well last night, even though the baby slept all night. The baby wasn't awake for a feeding before I left and I didn't take the time to pump. My sister/training partner overslept yesterday and did not make it to her race. Luckily, it is a five race series so she isn't out that much . The great news for me, she was available to run with me this morning. So we met the training team over at the park. The only park where they actually clear the path! It was cold and snowing. It was a slow start. The first loop I felt kind of blah. We stopped back at the field house for some water and Gu. Then out for the last 4 miles. My sister said as we started, "only six miles in and my legs are finally starting to warm up." I have to admit, had I not had her with me I probably would have considered bagging it after the first loop. I felt much better after the water and gu. The last mile or so the snow really stated to come down. We were freezing by the
end. According to her Garmin, we ended up with a 10:26 pace average for 10 miles. Not too shabby for a cold, snowy morning.
Of course, the baby was down for a nap when I got home so I ended up pumping then. I really wasn't uncomfortable running since I wear two bras but I was miserable by time I got home. Had this been baby number one I wouldn't even have attempted running without feeding first but I figured I'd give it a shot. It wasn't too awful but I will have to plan better for any longer runs.
