12

ran 12 today. my friend amy roller bladed next to me the whole time. she's planning to come with me for all the long runs she can. i'm so thankful for her. she wears a camelbak, so i have water and a place to put my gels. i think the vanilla bean gu is my favorite. i had 2 today. one at mile 5 and one at mile 9. if nothing else, they are a good placebo.

i was a little stiff this morning. i started feeling better about mile 2, like usual. overall, my legs felt pretty good today. i was able to keep a 10 minute mile pace the whole time, even with all our gabbing. we did have to stop at a couple stop lights, but i stopped my garmin for that.

it was a good day.

i'll leave you with a picture from our trip to the zoo this week and our new kitten - "gertie."
we went to "just look" at some baby kittens and we all fell in ♥love♥ with her.
