Well- last weekend Nathan and I completed our last "long" run before the big day. It is amazing how much our perception of "long" has changed throughout this process. We ran a comfortable 20miles 10.25.09 and finished in just over 3hrs. Overall the run was fairly painless - I think Nathan seemed to enjoy it more than I did. Because he is our "hill expert" he decided we should run part of our normal route backwards and end with a few (keyword) hills. Needless to say, the end was not as painless for me - I did feel like my legs would just stop working at any minute, but Nathan kept us going and we charged up the last hills before heading home.
We are now in the home stretch to race day! We have (both) now suffered knee issues, cortisone shots, blisters, and many aches, but I think it will be worth it! This past week we kinda slacked off on our running schedule and now will be running every day this upcoming week; however they will be much shorter runs, (only 1 12miler, 4mi, & 3mi) :)!
We are starting to prepare for race day with food considerations, planning party stops etc. I have signed text messaging alerts/emails up for family. You will be able to track us as we're running throughout the course!
Keep checking our blog for race day pics, etc!
