Slow and Steady wins the race..or at least keeps us healthy

2/19 run 50 mins Sycamore Trail @ Umstead with left foot taped

HR avg 159 max 175

The +1 didn't want to do her long run today, so instead, she guilted me into doing mine!  So off we went to Umstead with both of us not really having our hearts in it.  It was a rough 50 mins, and, naturally, the turn around point was at the bottom of the longest and steepest descent of the whole trail.  I didn't work as hard according to my watch, which is good, but this run felt worse to me.  I'm not sure what it was, but I felt like I was struggling the whole time.  At least it's done for the weekend!
