So as you've probably figured, I've been getting in most of my during-the-week work in on the mill at the gym. As such, ain't much to write about, and I'm sure it would boring as hell reading if I did. We are, however, still doing our Saturday long runs out in the open (and increasingly on the same trail every week, though it's hard to think of a better place, given the lack of traffic/intersections/etc.) Today was our longest run ever: 19 miles or 4 hours, whichever took longer. Being a true Fatboy, 19 miles was more than enough to eat up more than 4 hours. Day started great; still dark, really cool, relatively empty trail (alas, no stray bright green water bottles to be seen, sorry SD). Took it pretty easy but still made alright time for the first half. Coming back got a little tougher, not just because I was getting tired but also because it started getting warmer. Good news, though, I finished it and I finished it running. With seven weeks left to train, tacking another 7 miles on to what we did today may not be impossible.
But it sure is gonna suuuuuuck.
Eating's been all over the map this last week, and haven't been on the scale since the last entry. I'll update Monday (though I'd like to do it now after having burned 2,800 calories per Garmin). Regardless of the weigh-in numbers, I'll be redoubling my efforts to keep it smart. Starting tomorrow.
