Today I went for a run and checked off a fifteen mile long run around the harbor. Despite my speedwork yesterday, I needed to get in my long run due to rain forecasted for Sunday. A friend had asked if I was running long this weekend and I was thankful for he was up for the distance! When I woke the radar showed rainshowers; however, it turned out to only being a misty, drizzle patch. It actually was perfect weather! Cloudy, misty and a little lower temperatures than it has been all week. We looped from one end of the harbor up to the gate at Fort McHenry. We looped back taking a few more pit stops towards the last three miles. I was happy with the solid nine pace going out, but knew the fatigue from yesterday was about to show up. Again, I thanked my friend for joining because I might have ended up run/walking the last three miles. Instead we just pushed through. Solid fifteen miles done without the sun! Two weeks of solid long runs has me optomistic. Until August, I have felt like a blob with lead legs. Its finally starting to pull together. With this run under my belt I rolled the rice and signed up for the Gettysburg North-South Marathon. Cheers to this hopefully being marathon #39.
