Finally!
I finally had a good long run today. Long as in 12 miles, which is the most distance I've done since our half. And not were I should be. But where I am, and that is life. I told Angie yesterday that maybe we need to change our attitude. Because we both sound pretty defeatist when we were talking about the marathon. So I said, "We should change our attitude from 'no way can I get ready' to 'this is an epic challenge to get prepared, but we can do it!'" So I tried to keep that in mind.
And it was actually a really good run. Slow, but better than I have been doing. The cool day probably helped a lot.
Today I went to a new lake! Lake Murray over in La Mesa. I liked it a lot. It was a lot cooler due to area but it also has a lot more tree cover than Miramar. Ample parking, too. The dam is blocked so it is an "in/out" run. 6 miles round trip. So I did the in/out twice.
And I realize I'm all kinds of behind on my posts! I did run Friday and Saturday, 7 miles each day.
Today was the best run I've had in a while. I feel a lot better about my running now. I also switched to an old pair of shoes the other day and I'm noticing that my right hamstring is a lot less tight and painful.

Hey, good for you! Sounds like you will be ready to me.
I ran 10.6 miles this morning before Angie picked me up to go to the Urgent Care with Mom. I was debating at that very moment whether I would quit at 12 or try for 16. But it was decided for me. I was tired but, then, I haven't really had a good night's sleep in almost a week so no surprise there. I was feeling pretty good though and think if I hadn't been so tired I could have done 16. So, now I will shoot for 16 next Saturday.
Yeah, sounds like quite the end to your run! Are you still following the Grandma's plan? Or trying? I'm not.
Well, I'm trying...sort of...
