Marathon Training - New Milestone

It was 70 degrees and 90% humidity when we left at 7 am but it felt very nice compared to what we had earlier this week.  A light breeze & a cloud cover made it even better.

So off we went with a new milestone in mind.  The extra mileage was added at the beginning of our run which made it easier (at least mentally) to deal with.  Physically it was a much easier run than I expected.  I ran pretty hard too.  I didn't time it but I could feel it.  17.5 miles we ran.  I nice accomplishment.  We're within striking distance.  I felt like I could have finished a marathon today.

Today we built stamina and maybe even more importantly, we built confidence.  All is well, so far.
