Today I ran my longest run ever! And yet, come race day I will have to run five miles more. I know that I can make it through a marathon. The question is: how fast? When I think about it as 26.2 miles, it seems daunting. It's probably important to just take it one mile at a time. I ran my temple loop, and extended to Costco for the extra mile. I like when you get to the point in a workout that you know you are going to make it through. Today that was about mile 17-18, where all of a sudden it seemed, not easy, but doable. It's hard to explain, but I've noticed that feeling in the last few workouts I've done. The marathon can't get here soon enough. I'm so tired! |
