October 22nd Well today was the day. I set out this morning knowing I had to get 20 or it was the half again for me. I really didn’t know what I was going to do as I left the house. I had a 20 mile route, as well as 2 turn offs along the way. One would have been 14, and the other 17 miles. Had no idea what the day would bring. I got my new shoes, and the weather is a little cooler then the last few long runs, but after last week I had zero confidence. All I have been able to think of is that I will have to do the half this year and maybe next year I can do the full. No shame in a half, after all 13.1 miles is no small feat. But I really really want 26.2; just not sure I can do it. Well I am happy to report that it went exceptional! I did 20 in the time it took me to do the 17 last week. I feel great. I’m a little sore, but for the first time in 2 months I really believe this is going to happen. Everything I have read, and the people that I have talk to that have done this all say if you can do 20 you can do 26.2. Three weeks till race, and I can’t wait. Bring it on, I’m ready!!!
