LSD

Met up with the TNT crowd this morning and got in around 12 miles. Got to run with a few different people this morning but started and finished with my mentees. For the first 11 miles we were averaging around 10 minute miles. I am getting better at easing the pace, but it is still a struggle. Picked it up for a half mile out to meet with the last group, then walked that half mile back. Those poor girls missed their turn around point so they ended up with 9 instead of 6 miles :)

Looking forward to tomorrows run with SERC. It is about time I did the 12 loop again.

My husband just asked me why the acid title. Clarification- LSD= Long Slow Distance

You know if we were still in high school I would be thinking of something else if you labeled the post LSD.

I've also heard LSD defined as Long Steady Distance. I used a training plan for my first marathon that had you running the "long" runs slightly faster than the "easy" runs (but still slower than marathon pace).

(Tammy - don't forget - AZRNR runners get a complimentary Michelob Ultra at the finish!)

That's an awesome title.

I run on LSD...then I have to explain it's Lake Shore Drive to anyone not from Chicago. :)
