Holy cow - how is it week 15 already? This week marks the last week of intense training and we are now moving into the taper phase. I can't believe the race is so close - in less than 3 weeks, this will all be over! Eeek!
This week marked my farthest runs to date and my most back to back ever. I won't lie - 20 was rough. I can't believe I am going to have run 6 more miles still in 2 weeks. Ahhh!
The 20 miler didn't start well. First of all, it felt incredibly weird to be running in shorts and a t-shirts 3 days before Christmas. It was 60! I had trouble settling into a good pace. This one was also a mental struggle. I just struggled. Luckily, I ran into an old triathlon friend around 14.5 and she stayed with me for the next 2 miles. It was a huge help! She helped me keep the pace up and pushed me up cat hill. She kept me moving through the last miles. So glad I ran into her!
