I set out yesterday at 7:30 in the morning on the bike path for my last long run until the Pig. Just over 3 hours later, I returned hom after covering about 17.5 miles. It was a perfect day....chilly but sunny....slight wind...flat course. I also took some Gu with me and something to slurp it down with. And, although it seemed like flavored glue or paste, I do believe it had a positive impact on my ability to finish up such a long distance. Once I stopped, my legs pretty much gave up on me. I laid around all day and had a very hard time with stairs.
There are only 20 days left until the marathon so I am going to take it easier on these last three weeks. I am spending some of that time "designing" a sponsor shirt with everyone that donated $$ to the cause on it. I will post some pics once I get it complete!
