Day 35: 8 miles

8 miles today! It felt much better than our 7 mile run. I think I finally got this diet/hydration/stretching thing figured out. Our overall time was 1:38:00. Which is funny because that's about what our time was for 7 miles, so clearly I had a much better run today. Still kind of slow, but we're working against the heat and hills, so it's ok. We decided to stop every 2.5 miles for a 6 oz drink instead of one stop half way through for 12. It worked out MUCH better... I stayed more hydrated throughout, and Chris noted that our legs didn't go into "Oh we're done" mode since we were stopped for a much shorter time, so it was easier to get started again. I'm pretty sore tonight, but I feel good about the run overall.

One week until Peachtree Road Race!!!
