Today's run was supposed to be 20 miles, but I was out of time (and gas) after 16. I started off by taking on the Jardine Juniper trail which was incredible. The first couple miles were quite rough because I've slacked on my short runs this week and was a little stiff. Once I hit the switchbacks though I did a lot better. I still had to walk periodically, but this gave me a chance to take some cool pics with my phone. I'd never been on this trail before. After I finished the trail, I actually headed down the highway for some more road training. This wasn't the best idea. The road near the Jardine turnoff is super narrow. There is no shoulder whatsoever, so passing trucks on turns is very intimidating. Overall great run though. I'm a little nervous for the marathon because I've still gotta go 10 miles further than today's run. The injury a few weeks really set me back on these long runs. That is where I see it. |
