longest 3 miles ever

oh good lord, that was crazy.

i met two runnin' girls for a quick 3-miler on the trails. No biggie, right? wrong.

the trail was 1.85 even though the sign says 2.2.. (what will i ever do when i run without someone who has a garmin?) so we had to make up 1.2 out of the trail and for some reason when you don't have a set route, it ALWAYS feels like it takes 100 times longer. maybe because you are just waiting and waiting for the mileage to flip by instead of just knowing where you are going to stop? does that make sense?

so anywho, it was hot and muggy and we finally finished after 36 minutes. 36! 12 minute miles! yikes. in our defense though, you do have to run trails slower so you don't bite it on a tree root AND there were a TON of hills in the woods, so it's slower anyway.

tomorrow morning, it's 4.5 miles at 5:45.. i expect that to be a much better run.
