Today seemed to be a crappy day for training. Partly cloudy, temp 38-41 degrees, 12 mph winds out of the NE. I put off my long day this morning since it didn’t look so promising outside. Then after lunch I logged in to the Blog and started seeing everyone’s miles already posted (seeaprilrun especially impressive). That motivated me to run the longest distance I've ever ran in my life. I was just going to do 16 but I felt good when I started, so I thought what the heck lets go longer.
I ran on the Linear Trail again...nice and flat, with a lot of trees to break the wind. At the 9 mile turn around the winds died down significantly....and what a relief! At mile 14 it started to sleet/rain and I popped in my head phones for a lil extra motivation.
After the watch was stopped my legs felt like rubber and I could barely walk back to my truck. What a great feeling!
