Poco trails. Good practice, picking my feet up in the leaves.

Lunch Run 
I kind of wanna just leave this as lunch run. 😆 I finally did the JIM, and loved it. Hot, humid, a thunderstorm, freeze pops, cool people. it was all great. 🥇female. Ribs held up well considering

Catherine's furnace 50 K ish Race. Made some new friends, got to run on some good Rocky trails, and finished 1st female. Happy birthday to me 😊

Let's do an FKT at Pocahontas when the dew point is 75 and it feels like 104. 🤣 I don't think I've ever sweated more in 2 hours in my life. Def had to adjust my pace, but I got it.

Acadia Park Loop Road FKT. Taking advantage of my last morning. Wasn't sure how my legs would do after yesterday's Cadillac Mtn run and Tuesday's 30 mi mountain adventure, but I felt really good. Kept it easy until the last few mi.

My friend riding with me at night on his bike accidentally crashed into me around mile 94. The trail turned onto a side road. I turned, he didn't realize it. I went flying and my arm went ouch. But not really really ouch until a few hours after I finished.
Felt so good to go long again. Loved every minute - except the bike collision. Ha
Spent more time than usual at crew stops bc I got a lot of stuff myself (ya know, Covid and all) and talked to my friends helping me. Haven't seen friends in 3 months and I figured it's not a race and this makes the day so awesome. 
Damn hot in the exposed sunny parts during the day, partly sunny my ass! but at least the humidity wasn't high. 
Slowed down during mid day and ran more when it got a little more shaded. 
Had trouble forcing food in. Drank a lot of
Coke and Frappuccino's esp towards the end.
