I did my long run on Sunday…in the rain. 18 miles is 2:45. I wasn’t really happy with the overall time but my soggy feet started to hurt about halfway through and about two miles of trail running I did during the run was a little slick. Both of those slowed me down a little so I’m still confident that I’ll be able to crack the 4-hour mark in three weeks.
My shoes were soaked after Sunday’s run, and were still soaked when I put them on today. I had a one hour run on the schedule with 2 x 6 minute hill repeats. The legs were pretty sore starting out but loosened up after a good warm up.
I’m going back to Master’s to swim tonight after having to miss last week and then a double run session on tap for tomorrow including a 10-mile run tomorrow afternoon.
