This run was definitly NOT intended! I went out planning on a 13 mile run but when I was 9 miles into my loop I came upon a low water crossing that was about knee deep in swiftly flowing water. It was dark and I ran into it to anckle deep soaking my shoes and socks completly. The temperature was already 42 degrees, it was raining lightly so I was already cold! I had to turn around and backtrack 9 miles making the run 18 miles. It caused me to be very late to work too! :-(
I had been dreading jumping my milage up to 18 but when I was forced to do it this morning it was not that bad. Actually, I was pretty pleased with the results. I felt like I could have upped the effort at any point and still finished strong. I did run the last 3 miles at MGP.
Glad to get a longer run under my belt, it's making me more confident that I can be in top shape for the Irvine Marathon if I decide to run it.
