Today was a long run...13 miles. This is my longest of the current training session. It showed me how just much work I will have to put in before marathon day! According to the training schedule, I am supposed to do these runs at a comfortable pace, slower than my expected marathon pace. I was feeling fine until about 10.5 miles and then it got a pretty tough, but I was able to struggle through it. I started at about 6:30 this morning. For the longer runs, I always try to beat the heat and humidity by starting early. As the training goes on, and the runs get longer, I will have to start earlier and earlier.
