Yes, I survived my 20 mile run yesterday.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t pretty, but it wasn’t as bad as I feared. \u00a0It wasn’t good either. As I told Jen<\/a>, it was just sort of mediocre.<\/p>\n

(Things that aren’t mediocre – Jen. \u00a0She ran the last 10 with me and put up with my whining. \u00a0She is awesome.)<\/p>\n

Around mile 15 or so, I started to stiffen up a bit. \u00a0Not sure what to do about that except to stop and stretch, perhaps (which I didn’t do). \u00a0And I think from about 17 on, it was a slog. \u00a0Not a slow slog, mind you – I was pretty much keeping pace, but it just felt slow.<\/p>\n

So while I’ve lost some speed from last year, maybe this year’s marathon won’t be too bad after all. \u00a0If I can get through 20, I can do 26.2 with the added motivation of the medal and the pride that comes with it. \u00a0Now if only the weather will cooperate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
