Fox Farm

Sunday morning.... Tony, Dillion and I headed out to Fox Farm road for an easy 16 miler.  We loaded up into my car and headed north to the trail head.  We gel'd up and took our last sips of water.  Tony lead us up the trail for the first 8 miles we had a nice consistent pace and I was really enjoying this run.  The first mile was up hill a slow grinder but felt good to tap into the hurt tank.  The weather was kinda misting and over cast but comfortable for running.  When we reached 8 miles we took a little breather and gel'd up again.  Dillion lead us on the way back and the paced picked up.  I was just on the verge of being uncomfortable.  I didn't say anything and just rolled out the miles.  The mist started to come down as rain at about 13 miles and I was really starting to enjoy the rain falling off my face.  I looked at my watch and we were at 15.75 and I knew what I wanted to do.  I wanted to put the hammer down on Tony and Dillion.  I started pushing the pace and I could tell Tony could feel me behind him cause he picked up the pace as well.  I was just about to pass him and he hammers it down and I just couldn't squeeze by him.  We ended the run at 16.1 miles...what a fun run.  Tony brought a cooler of beers and I brought donuts and we sat under a pine tree drinking beers and eating donuts.  Probably not the best recover drinks and foods but it was a blast.  Blessed to have friends like you guys!!  Thanks!!  Lets roll out some miles..
