[A] Moroccan runner ... completed the grueling Marathon des Sables through the Sahara Desert earlier this week. He is talented and he is also a dog.Cactus linked up with the race after Sunday’s opening 20-mile stage, sticking around for the next four stages and 120 miles of running. The Marathon des Sables is a famously difficult race, where competitors have to run an average of 23.5 miles per day for five days straight through the sand, sun, and wind of the unforgiving Sahara of southern Morocco. It’s not the sort of thing anyone does primarily for fun, excepting of course Cactus, who seemed to enjoy his time with the race.

Less than two months post-Boston and with only a few speed sessions I wasn't sure how today was going to go. I've been logging a lot of miles the last two weeks and my legs were tired coming in. To run 8:30 and actually feel pretty decent was a huge confidence boost heading into the Run for the Pies 5k next weekend. This is the fastest I've run on this workout ever by about 12 seconds and it was on the road with a 180 turn in the middle. Excited for a big summer ahead and to take things to the next level.
Probably one of my best workouts, also one of the harder ones. Good day. Nice to have a crew to share the work. It doesn't happen alone.255, 256, 254, 253, 253, 252, 253, 250, 250, 249.
