Long run by myself.  It was worth it to sleep in until 6:30 am and run in the light rather than get up at 4:30 am, drive 25 minutes, and run in the dark with someone.

I did the same run as on Labor Day but without a Garmin.  I did take a couple of GUs with me so I can start training with them.  I felt tired from a long week, but was glad to get this run done.  I got a drink at the Alpine park on the way up to Sliding Rock and on the way back and took one GU.  I took another GU with about 4.5 miles to go when I hit Cedar Hills park. The first 10 miles was 1:18:27 which isn't bad considering it is all up hill.  I wish that the next 10 miles was all downhill but since I head up toward AF canyon and up the big hill I turns out to have a lot of up.  Some of the tendons in my lateral right leg were very tight and hurting for the last 10 miles, so I stopped and stretched a little at the parks when I grabbed a drink and took a GU.  I made it back alright, and even through down a 6:00 last mile.  I iced the tendons when I got done and had stretched out.  2:27:08 for the run with the second half in 1:08:40.

My goal is to stay healthy for the next three weeks and hopefully still pull off a good marathon, so far so good.

Good mileage this week.

Great run and nice pacing. 20 miles solo is always a bit tough but you got it done.

Taper starts soon, then you will have a good SGM!

Are you in our sub-2:30 pace group, or will you be going out a bit more conservatively this year?

From James on Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 20:23:03

Well, that depends on who is in your pace group and how fast you plan on going out?
