We got the 6" of snow they predicted so the roads were a mess this morning plus we had 20+ mph winds. I didn't want to have to do my long run on the TM but today I am glad to have it. It wasn't as bad as I expected. I listened to some music then got caught up on all the Colts Super Bowl talk so the time passed pretty fast. I felt good most of the way and gradually picked up the pace as I went along. I was feeling tried around 17 miles but wanted to get in 20. That is one thing about the TM is that it is easy to stop because you are already at home. If you are running outside and feel bad you have to at least run back home. Anyway, I pushed on to the 20 and I'm glad I did. I usually don't feel as beat up when I do a long run on the TM so maybe it is not the same level of effort. I hope to try another 20 miler next weekend outside if the weather cooperates. Now I can relax and get ready for the Super Bowl!! 2:33:25 (7:41 avg)
