Final long run before next weeks marathon. My body seems to be doing okay, as well as my mind. I'm ready for a good race and anxious to see how my increased mileage translates come race day. Today's run put me @ 258 miles for the month, my highest total ever. It included a week of 70 miles, also my highest ever.
I ran west on Barnett and Stewart 4 miles in 27:08, then back in 25:32. Going both ways I didn't feel like I was pushing at all, so that's a good thing. Took some Hammer Gel and water (I'm not a fan--I'll stick with Gu and Powergel) and continued north for 2.5 miles on Foothill Drive to Highland in 16:17. I turned around and returned in 13:26. That's about it. Now it's football time and my first Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State. Go Beavers! Type A (74)
