Two weeks till my 1/2 marathon ‘race’. I put ‘race’ in quotes because though it is technically a race and I’m sure a lot of runners will be racing, I will not. I’ll just be finishing and I’ll be super excited if I finish under 3 hours, but it’s okay if I don’t. So for me it’s just a run, not a race.

I did 10.3 miles today. I felt that I could have gone onto 13.1 if I’d wanted to, but I didn’t. Just knowing I could was enough. When I logged my miles I noted that this was my last long run until the half. A bit later it occurred to me that I still plan on doing 5-6 miles next Sunday morning. With the logical conclusion that at some point in the last couple months, I’ve stopped considering 6 miles to be a ‘long’ run. Wow!!!
