Today I am grateful that my last long run before the half marathon is DONE! Woo hoo! What a relief. I am feeling it now, but it went really well. It helped to know Fran was out there at the same time running her 12 today and Stefaan stayed with me for the first ten kilometers. The weather was chilly but fine enough for running, and we even had a little bit of sun, which was pretty through the orange and yellow leaves that are still on the trees.
There were lots of other runners out today, and we noticed many big fluffy dogs, for some reason. The route was my usual:
With 20 km under my belt I feel confident now about being able to finish the half marathon, but I am still not sure about getting a PR on the big day. With the paces I have been running it will be on the edge, I think. We shall see.
Now we are off to the in-laws for one last family get together this afternoon, then tomorrow the boys all go back to school, it's back to business as usual for me, and the big countdown to my trip to Florida starts! Have a great Sunday and good luck to all who are running the NY marathon today!
