I have just completed my 26km run this morning. I was able to keep my group under a bit more control than before and we stayed at a 6:30 pace. Which is really good since lately, especially near the end of our runs, we are usually at a 6:00 pace.
Today was an amazing day for a run, the sun was shining, the paths were mostly clear and I finally got to wear my capris! Yeah!!! The best part of my run was wearing those capris. I felt good through most of it, I always get a bit tired near the end but this week we ran to City Hall and back and so we got a nice little pee and refill break. That makes a big difference in running these long distances. I know I won't have that luxury during the race but I will take it if I can now.
After the run there was a nice treat waiting for us when we got back to the store, Chocolate Milk and Fig Newtons! Then it was off to breakfast for some protein and carbs, one of the good things about running a marathon is all the eating you can do. I am sure I will probably be hungry again in about 2 hours or so. Next week will be a short long distance of 19km!
