I feel like I broke through a wall. I've never run a four hour training run prior to yesterday. And I did it without music. I'm putting the Ipod away. I felt much more connected mentally, physically and relaxed without the music distracting me from the trail. It rained on us pretty much the whole time. But the day was warm enough to be pleasant. The trail is at it's greenest and in parts growing into the trail. It's a trip to be running through such a lush forest. We did an out and back on the Germantown side of Wildwood which is in no way as hilly as the Pittock Mansion (race start) side. All we can do is chip away at the distance and run with what we got on June 23.
My assessment center, assuming I did well enough on the test, will be the week of June 25 so hopefully I won't be hobbling into the room full of out-of-town Chiefs to explain why I would be a good leader. Keep you posted.
