This was definitely not the normal way I'd run 14 miles. First, I headed out the door at 6 a.m. for a 5-mile warmup. Then at 8 a.m. I ran in a 5k race that is a benefit for our neighbors. They have two children who have Osteogenesis Imperfecta, better known as brittle bone disease. A gym in Liberty sponsors a race that contributes to the OI foundation and several of our neighbors were there. This was the second year for the race, and this year I won (really?) the 5k in 25:05. If there'd been any 17-year-olds from the high school track team they would have kicked my rear, but at least I beat my 13-year-old. Which is good, becuase in a couple of years I'll be that much closer to middle age and she'll be way ahead of me.
After we returned home I ran another 6 miles in order to complete the mileage I needed for today. Since I missed my run on Thursday, not only did I get in my mileage today, but I also fit in a speed workout. Not the way I'd do it every time, but for today it seemed to work.
