Getting Close

We are getting close. Counting this Saturday we are eight weeks away from the big day! It is a good thing as the weeks are seemingly a little long with all the training. With that said we did manage to get in our run on Sat. It actually felt wonderful, my body had recovered from last Saturday's run and with a distance of 12 miles is seemed like an easy morning. I ran with the TNT group this morning, actually just with a friend as everyone in the group is running or walking different distances and paces. We completed the 12 miles with an average pace of 9:32. If felt pretty good as we ran the hills part of our running course. It was a cool and crisp morning, wonderful to run without the humidity that has become a part of so many of our runs. Ron also completed his 12 miles. He is battling a sore hip but still managed to complete the miles in about the same time. Hopefully some stretching will help relieve some of the discomfort so he is able to run a little more during the week.
We are still training during the week and amazingly I was able to complete much of the schedule even after the long 20miles last sat. This week I logged about 30miles. It is crazy what your body is able to accomplish with proper training.
