long run.
since robin was busy this morning with her friends from out of town, i opted to do my scheduled long run on saturday instead of sunday.
sun, cool temps and nice breeze greated me as i set out around 11 this morning. from the word go i felt great. i was thrown a monkey wrench when i discovered the trail was closed (flooded) a little before half way, but i just turned around and made it an out and back with an add on. the 3 mile add on at the end hurt, but that was mostly mental because i hate adding on to something i've already planned in my head.
all in all, this was the best long run so far...and i think that is how it is supposed to work. i was worried, because i haven't been pushing the mileage very hard lately, but as of right now...i feel good.
20 miles over a very hilly course (relative to most marathon courses...especially milwaukee). buckshot next weekend and then 1 more long run before the big event...
happy saturday.
