longest training run EVER
It was a very slow fourteen miles, but fourteen miles nonetheless. I treated the last mile more like a cool-down, walking a good part of it and then taking the rest at a slow jog. I finished 13 in 2:45; and the 14 in 3:00.
I did this training run at run 8 minutes/walk 2 minutes, so I'm hoping between race day adrenaline and changing the ratio to 9/1, then I won't be SO FUCKING SLOW.
Also, hopefully taking this one so slow will make recovery easier.
I feel pretty good right now, no falling down or anything. It makes me feel pretty positive about the possibility of doing the full marathon in the next year.
time to sign up for the race!
