We are leaving tomorrow morning EARLY for a long, long weekend in the Northwoods of Wisconsin before our kids start school on Tuesday. We are headed 8 hours of north of where we live smack in the middle of black bears, pine trees and supper clubs! They call them "fishing lodges" and "supper clubs." We love it up there. . . .I have 4 miles tomorrow (which I am going to run with my son) and 12 miles on Saturday. I am basically skipping a 4 mile and 8 mile run this week because I was sick and had no other choice. It is already getting into the 40's in Northern Wisconsin so I am looking forward to not battling the heat. My knee doesn't hurt today however I think that I have slight case of shin splints. . . .
Since the "buzz" of my long run has somewhat worn off, I have came to this realization: I have even MORE respect for the distance (26.2) than I have ever had. With my only goal being to just finish . . .one of two things will happen: I will either finish or I won't finish. After slipping into somewhat of a "running coma" yesterday during my run I have realized that ALOT can happen in 26.2 miles. Some of it good. Some of it bad. However, I WILL COME PREPARED.
This is it . . .
