Finished my last long run this morning. Did 20 miles - pretty much all alone. It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. Finished in 3 hours and 8 minutes...pretty good click...if only I can hang on to that for the real deal in Duluth.
I started around 5:40 and did 8 all alone...hardly saw a sole out there. Then I was a the clubhouse for some water and to see who was going out again. Once again I found my home...right behind the fast ones and ahead of the next group back. So there went my next 8...saw more people on the road...but it was still just me and the ipod. 16 down...easy 2 out and back to bring the grand total to 20. Once I made the turn around...I knew I was fine. The hardest part was that with every mile...my Nike+ was more and more off. You have 2 miles to go...no I don't...I have about 2.5 miles to go...oh well - gotta get that thing calibrated again this week.
It's been a great training season. A few issues recently w/the toes (got new shoes...only half sized up rather then the full) - but other then that...I feel really good.
Turns out there is a small group from the running club that will be running Grandma's...it will be nice to have some people to hang with...I'm hoping that Tara will be good staying for awhile...then it is a long drive back to Brainard...gonna hurt when I get out of the car...I can feel it.
4:19 or better gets me a new tattoo - let me hear the cheers!
