Today’s Run: \u00a018 miles<\/p>\n
Today was a milestone run. \u00a0Epic. \u00a0Breakthrough. \u00a0A turning point even~in our marathon training. \u00a018 miles. \u00a04 1\/2 hrs. \u00a0No matter how you look at it, we ran a long way and a long time.<\/p>\n
We took this run S-L-O-W. \u00a0I am not speedy under the best conditions but I wanted to take our time this morning. \u00a0I did not know how tired I would get or if I would “bonk”. \u00a0I wanted to be as prepared as possible. \u00a0So we got an early start.<\/p>\n
We left on our run at 4:45. \u00a0It was already 75 F. and 93% humidity. \u00a0That made the run that much more of a challenge. \u00a0Fortunately, living in Mississippi, we are “acclimated” to heat and humidity (and I have a bridge I can sell you!). \u00a0We are used to dealing with those types of weather conditions and trudged ahead.<\/p>\n
Things learned today:<\/p>\n
18 miles is a very, very long way to run.<\/p>\n
A gas station attendant will gladly sell you Gatorade very early in the morning.<\/p>\n
The lady probably would have hit me with her car if I had not have moved. (On purpose, too!)<\/p>\n
18 miles is a very, very long way to run.<\/p>\n
Plan for water stops a bit better.<\/p>\n

I cannot complain one bit about how today’s run went. \u00a0I am content in a job well done.<\/p>\n
Am I sore? \u00a0Kinda~more creaky than sore.<\/p>\n
Would I do it again? \u00a0Most definitely. \u00a0How about next Friday! \u00a0Eleven weeks until the race!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
