Today’s Run: \u00a018.36 miles<\/p>\n
Today sees the conclusion of week 11 of our (my husband and I) marathon training program. \u00a0That means that tomorrow we kick off week 12. \u00a0That also means we only have 49 days until we toe the line! \u00a0I can hardly wait!<\/p>\n
We literally had a long, slow run this morning. \u00a0We began our run this morning, trotting out the door at 4:30 am ~we have learned that you CAN run in your sleep. \u00a0Amazing the things that the human body can do!<\/p>\n
When we began this morning, it was 74 F. \u00a097% humidity. \u00a0Soupy. \u00a0When we finished 4.38 hours later, it was 82 F. 84% humidity and 70 degrees dew point. \u00a0We would have been better off trying to swim than run! \u00a0BUT~it was an awesome run.<\/p>\n
Even though the weather conditions were brutal, we were strong the entire run. \u00a0Our pace was consistent from the very beginning. \u00a0No negative splits this morning but we were consistent! \u00a0That is a good thing.<\/p>\n
Our son, bless his heart, got out of bed early and met us at the half way point and acted as a water stop! \u00a0On a Saturday morning to boot! \u00a0That really was a life saver because after the last scheduled water stop, we had to rely on the water in our Nathan belt. \u00a0By the time we reached the meeting house, our water was gone.<\/p>\n
There was a shooting around 1:00 am on the MSU (Mississippi State University) campus. \u00a0I think the MSU police were still searching for the shooter while we were running around and around and around the campus. \u00a0Every single MSU police car, pick-up, SUV and bicycle were out in force. \u00a0You usually do not see that strong a presence at 6:00 am on a Saturday. \u00a0I wonder if they found him\/her yet? \u00a0It was a little disconcerting running around the campus knowing they were looking for someone with a gun.<\/p>\n
So, tomorrow begins week 12 out of an 18 week schedule. \u00a0Next weekend is a “fall back” run of only 13 miles. \u00a0I say “Only”. Funny how your perspective changes! \u00a0We will run our 13 miles on Friday morning because on Saturday morning I am going to run a Color Run with my Sister! \u00a0How much fun is that!?!<\/p>\n
