LONG RUN

Yes, the training has been continuing. I have just been unable to fit in updates while on vacations. The big news is that Ron and I had our longest run to date. 17.5 miles we managed to run this past Thursday. We had to move around our schedule but managed to get in all our miles for the week. For those of you who know the area we ran from about 40th st in town out to Holland state park to the end of the pier-no we didn't jump off, and then back. It was not too bad until the end. Somehow I melted and just about everything gave out, sorry to say Ron had to bear the brunt of my frustration, thankfully he still ran with me later in the week, although I do slightly blame him as our pace was faster and somehow he convinced me to run an extra .5 miles. It is a great feeling to have accomplished such a distance but that is not what I was saying after running about 2.75 hours.
So we are back on track, unfortunately the weather is not. We arrived home to wind, cold and rain. Ron braved the weather, I hit the treadmill for eight miles...eight miles too long on a treadmill, but it felt great after being cooped up in a car with three kids for 12 hours!
