Last Vernal loooong run! I don't have to climb the forever long inclines here any longer. This was not my best long run. Body felt fine, but my mind couldn't get over the fact that I had to run 22 miles. At about mile 12 I started running in the moment.
At the beginning of my run I passed a family twice, they were out for a morning jog. The last mile of my run they drove up to me in a car. They asked how far I had run, I told them 21 miles. Their jaws dropped, and they asked my what I was training for.
That run proved to me that I am not completely ready for my marathon in 4 weeks. I just felt so blah. I had to siphon energy out of myself to get the miles I needed. I think that I did better than I am giving myself credit for though. I am just happy that I only have 4 weeks to go. |
