Two Weeks To Go!!

Wow! Is it really just 2 weeks till the WDW 1/2 Marathon? The really scary thing....I can say that I'm ready.

Today was my last long run before the 1/2. I was originally scheduled to do 14 miles today, but my foot issues caused me to alter things over the last few weeks. I set out on the long run wanting (and needing) to do 12 miles. I did exactly what I wanted to do. Including warm up and cool down I did 13.1 miles (interesting number don't you think).

Here are my 12 mile splits....

15:28
15:35
15:15
15:29
15:21
15:40
15:47
15:46
15:20
15:34
15:41
14:50

In the end, I did the 12 in 3:05:45 (15:29 pace). And I did the 13.1 in 3:27:52. It is so nice to know that I can do the distance. And that I can do the distance under 3:30.

As I write this it is 8:30pm and it has been about 4 1/2 hours since I finished. And I must say that I don't feel near as sore as I thought I would. In fact, I don't feel as sore as the 10 miles 2 weeks ago. Also, it is amazing that just a few weeks ago, my left foot had me almost out of commission. Today, I didn't have even the slightest problem with my feet. No hotspots...nothing. It really is encouraging.

Speaking of encouragement... Thank you to everyone that posted on Facebook and Twitter. It is an amazing feeling to finish a run and have several new followers on Twitter. Gordon, you're awesome.

Well, it's time to cut this post short.

Remember...Never say you can't!!!

Till Next Time...Keep Moving Forward!!
