I had so much fun in Marblehead with Meagan and Jordan that I didn't take the time to update my blog when I was there. It was a blast to reunite with the Kinlo's in New England for three days and get in some solid runs. Meagan is very fortunate that she has Jordan to run along with because he's always been the best pacemaker. Anyone that is heading to the Boston Marathon needs to take the extra drive to say hello and see their beautiful home that overlooks a sound and Fort Sewall.
Fortunately for me, Jordan and Meagan bost recapped the workout on their blog. Since I'm still struggling a bit with the lack-of-iron thing, I completed 1.5 laps of glory with Meagan before beginning to feel like absolute crap. Jordan came back to run with me for about .75 miles before running the third lap with Meagan to finish it out. For the last 3 miles I was alone, but I battled through my physical deficiencies and mental barriers to finish a strong 8 mile tempo, considering everything. In fact, I ran faster than I had originally intended, which is always a step in the right direction. My breathing was too labored and my legs felt too heavy, but I will get to the point where I feel like normal again.
After the workout, we cooled down on a bike path back to Marblehead before beginning a stretching session in the Kinlo dining room. All in all, it was definitely the right decision to come visit.
