7:15 pm. Gaby came along for the ride. He's funny how he slumps in the stroller, completely relaxed. We dropped Ash at a back to school party. Just after we left, one of the party-goers fell off the trampoline and broke her arm. Some party.
This was one of those runs where I spent the whole time telling myself, "Well, the first mile often doesn't feel good. Hmm...it's normal to take a couple miles to get feeling good. You'll feel fine after the turnaround...The last two miles are going to feel great." It took that long; 4-5 miles to get warmed up and feeling groovy.
Beyond the final 20 miler, I didn't give much though to the final weeks before the marathon. I'm planning on 14ish tomorrow, then 10 next week, but how much in between? This week I have felt sluggish and tired; I think dropping back to 4 days running is fine. I'm sure it is; missing a midweek run 2 weeks before a marathon isn't make or break stuff. Overthinking.
