If you follow me on social media, you know that I had an excellent 12 mile run this past Saturday. I ran with a friend from my running group and we ran the majority of the time on the Crescent Trail. It was my first time running on this particular trail and it was absolutely beautiful. ย We ran from the National Mall, through the Georgetown Waterfront, which led us to the trail. It was perfect – cool and crisp (it was so dark when we started that the monuments were still lit up!) when we started and then the sun peaked through.
The actual run was great, as well. As you can see, my splits were relatively consistent with a few miles being significantly faster (ahem, mile 10) or slower (mile 7). I was really encouraged by this run and think that if things continue on like this, I should have a huge PR at my half marathon next month!
In other news, we have a Road ID Winner! Congrats to…

What was the last great long run you did? And have you gotten your own Road ID yet??
Way to go!
thanks friend! just trying to be like you (you running fiend, you!)
It is so exciting to see your splits looking that good. Mine are always horrible toward the end of the run!
Try starting out slower – then you’ll have more energy to push it at the end ๐
Awesome job! I love when I have a great long run, it’s feels awesome. My last long run was a few weeks ago, a solid 10 miles, felt like I could keep going!
