I ran a half marathon this morning as my long run. For the first time ever I had a time of over 2 hours for a half marathon. :( I had 2:09:11.
When I finished all I could think of is that in 7 weeks I have to go twice that far. What a scary thought at this point in time. I sure have a very long way to go in those 7 weeks.
Last week's run went well. I only ran 10. I had a wedding to go to in Traverse City. I almost forgot about the wedding and I had never booked a hotel room and 2 days before there were very few hotel rooms to be had in Traverse City. Those available were very expensive or required 2 night minimums. I stayed in cadillac which is about 50 mins south. The hotels there are much less than in Traverse City. I found out about a paved walking/biking trail circling Lake Cadillac and it's 7 miles!! I had found my long run route! From my hotel to the trail was 1.5 miles so there was my 10 mile route! I did that Sunday morning and got back while the breakfast bar was still going! I was quite sweaty and still had my water bottle belt on and had one of those big waffles drowned in maple syrup!!!!!!! Perfect after a 10 miler!!
Soooooooooooo, yeah, tomorrow is 7 weeks out from Grand Rapids marathon.
