Today was long run day. 12mi at marathon goal pace was on the agenda.
Terri and I actually got to go to the movies last night so it was about 11:30 before I got to sleep.
6:00am came early. But, it was raining.
Rain on a long run day makes for an interesting experiment in stress management. All of a sudden, I was dying to get out there and run. It became clear that I would get my shot but not till the afternoon. Terri took Ellie to a birthday party. Cc went to her grandparents and I had my green light at about 3:30.
And. Now that I could run, I of course really didn't want to.
It was windy and getting cold. I did the 12 in my neighborhood which had about 600ft of climb and 600ft of descent. Much more fun on a bike.
I really wanted to quit on this one about 9mi in. Running into the wind, uphill.
I did my best to not think.
I ended up 90 seconds behind my target time of 1:48. Close enough.
