Nita, what an awesome run, and yes, you were out there by yourself, most of us still fat and happy in bed.  I'm going now for a 4 or 5 miler, see how the spirit strikes, then off to a bbq.

......and you wondered if you could be ready by MCM?   Way to go!!!!!!!

Either the medication wore off or it has yet to be prescribed!

Run happy!

Hey Karl....good luck tomorrow!  I just ran a 1/2 Marathon race today, again I must be nuts.  It was 93% humidity, in the mid 70's, and I felt ok, but last weeks long run still left my legs wanting more, or was it the tempo run on Wednesday.  With all that said, I still finished in 1:54, sticking to my plan which meant I walked through the water stops and actually drank water, and ate my gel pack.  Also had one stop at a portajohn along the way too.

Legs feel good, and am ready for another week...next Sunday is 20 again!

Good luck to all running long tomorrow.

Ken

You weren't alone. I did my first 16 miler today, started at 6AM, beautiful day, ugly run. But I got through it. Had all kinds of issues pop up, cramping in the legs, some foot pain at one point. I walked for a bit. I was still able to keep below 13:00 miles.You all warned me there would be days like this.

Thanks for the encouragement. My first 20 miler on the 28th is the one I really hope goes well. The funny thing to me is consistently during my training I've found that on the mornings I can't seem to drag myself out of bed I always have my best runs. On the days I wake up feeling great, I have my worst. Go figure. Maybe I should spend the next 49 days not wanting to get out of bed!
