Training recap week of 10/26 and 11/2 (Route 66 Weeks 15 & 16)

Almost caught up - last couple of weeks!

This week was pretty intense - last long run, 22 miles!

This whole tempo was not pretty.  It felt hard the entire time.  Not the greatest confidence builder going into a 22 miler, but here's hoping I got all my crappy runs out of the way before the race.

Legs did not feel good today either after the tempo run.

Week 16

This is the home stretch!  Last full week before taper.  This week was supposed to include the Wine & Dine Half, but due to lightening, the race was decreased to 7ish miles.  I also skipped my run on Sunday since I didn't go to bed Saturday night until almost 6am and by the time I awoke it was 90 out.
