It’s so weird to say that. I haven’t run that far since May. And there’s a lot going through my mind. Will my knee hurt? Will I be able to finish? Is that long enough to bring chocolate Gu? (mmm if there’s ever an excuse to bring chocolate Gu, I’m there)
I’m very much looking forward to this weekend’s long run. Oh, the long run, how I’ve missed thee. They’re honestly my favorite part about marathon training. Surely I’m not the only one that feels this way?
Aside from the long run, I’ve got a whole ton of unpacking to do (shhh, I’ve only been back 3 days, that’s not SO awful is it?). Maybe I’ll try and squeeze in a half day of skiing on Sunday, too :) I hope you have fabulous, active weekends as well!
Oh that is awesome! I can’t wait until I can run 8 miles again, best of luck to you and your knee.
PS-Take the chocolate GU.
i LOVE LOVE LOVE the long run. like seriously. my favorite thing about my current training plan is that i’ll end up doing four twenty mile runs. those are my FAVE.
so exciting that you’re back to running long! its got to feel so good :) enjoy your run and take the gu!
I have an 8 miler on tap for tmro morning! woot woot!
I love long runs too!! Just finding the time to do it is a problem. I am glad you got a great run in the weekend!!
I love the long run too! The only thing that’s tough for me is finding time for it!! It’s so much fun though!
