You've probably noticed that the running distances have fallen into another routine: 5M on Tuesday, 7-8M on Thursday, long run on Sunday. It's kind of nice, actually (and is one of the Plans of this training guide, to help get you accustomed to what is coming up ahead). Next week is different because it's a taper week, then on to the last crunch of building mileage. The marathon is less than two months away, if you can imagine! I can't.
Today's run felt pretty good while I was running. Now that I'm done, I can definitely feel that it was, indeed, 8 miles. It was a little more humid than I might have wanted in a perfect world, but overall not too bad. I chose to circle around Stephanie and David's neighborhood, then loop back toward mine. There was not a lot of repetition with this route.
It seems weird, but encouraging, that 8 miles doesn't feel that long right now. Here's hoping that's what 12 miles feels like in a month.
