Last Long Run – DONE!
September 27, 2008Woo hoo! I’m doing the happy dance! Just finished my last long run (well, it was only 13.1) and even though I was tired, I ran pretty well.
The first 8 miles I ran at a nice, easy pace and the last 5 miles I picked it up and ran between an 8:35 to 8:45 pace. My total time for the 13.1 was 1:58:03 – not fast but, then again, that wasn’t my goal.
For the next two weeks I’ll take it nice and easy with my longest run being 10 miles. What a switch that will be for me, especially after loggin 4-20+ mile long runs and several 17 or longer mile runs.
Let the taper begin!
I can feel it that you’re going to have a great Steamtown Marathon.
Rest hard. Let the fullest benefits of the taper take over your body and mind.
Let’s keep each other faithful to proper tapering!
Sandy –
Happy Tappering! I’m getting back on track after the injury and looking forward to my long runs. You’re going to do great at Steamtown! I just know it.
Thanks for being such a positive influence in my own running
Hope your tapering is coming along well. Good luck with your race!
