I never thought 2 months ago, even 2 weeks ago that I would have had such a solid 20 mile run.
Training this time around was a different beast than last time. The heat, the distractions, the injuries, the heat!
The weather was perfect, I had my head in a good place and I was aiming for sub 4:30 (I scheduled a hair appointment to ensure I hit that time).
Ended up running it in 4:17 with a 12:50 average pace.
I’m going to taper, hydrate and eat well the next two weeks.
I have a realistic goal for the Marine Corps Marathon – its slower than LA, but I’m okay with that.
I hope others had great long runs today!
