The Last 20

... for a long, long time. And with this, the preparations for Disney are complete. The next two weeks are reduced volume, no intensity, with the intent of getting me to the start line fully rested and ready to run.

Since my schedule for next year doesn't include any races with a running component over 13.1 miles, I won't have to do any of these extra-long runs for quite some time. I'm glad about that. I enjoy running, but three hours is a long time. Maybe in the summer it will be more tolerable, but right now, I'm over it. I'm also looking forward to getting on the bike for more extended sessions (once I've recovered, of course).

As for right now, I'm tired. I had a brief nap this afternoon, and will probably hit the hay early tonight. Tomorrow's guaranteed to be a long day of celebration, and Tuesday is the Gator Bowl. Guns Up!

Run: 8 miles @ 145 bpm, 12 miles @ 150 bpm
