cinco de miles...

so i did cinco de miles this morning on cinco de mayo. and let me tell you it cinco de sucked! i went out to the trails near my house and ran a new route...one that was five miles or more. since the weekly goal was for 12 miles i had to run fine more miles in order to feel successful. i made it but it was hard going. the run was closer to six rather than five but i had to make the five.
the first mile or so was up hill...this is where the cinco de sucked comes in. it sucked the life out of me from the get go. and admittedly i walk a little of the hill. it was killer. the rest of the run was spent trying to revive my run. and like i told you five miles feels like seven sometimes on the trail and this felt easily that or more.
BUT, i made it to my goal for the week. i think the goal will remain the same for this coming week. since cinco de miles was such a butt-kicker.
