It's the home stretch...less than 30 days to go and we've completed our longest training run (attempted to, anyhow). Saturday was not ideal but we did the best we could w/ the weather we were given and I'm checking it off my list. Done. Completed. C'est la vie. :-)
We started shortly after 6am and our coaches pulled us off the course a little after 9am because of the snow and winds. At that point I had completed 14 miles. I went home, got dry clothes and then went to the gym to do the rest. I was able to pull another 5 miles out of myself. I know...14+5=19. It was all I could do. After stopping and trying to start again after lactic acid was setting in and muscles had tightened, the situation was not optimal. I'm giving myself credit for shoveling the drive yesterday after running 19 miles and counting that as my mile 20. I'm looking forward to a Saturday when the longest journey on foot I take is to the end of the driveway to get the newspaper. 19 miles: 4:16.
