I had a very mediocre workout on Friday. Not my usual energy build up as the session progress. So, basically, I went through the motions and cut it a bit short. I still got a workout in but since I didn't feel very guilty, I'm thinking I did the right think and took an easy day. Yesterday, I had some personal business to take care of so I took a 20 mile bike ride and called it a day planning on a long run for this morning. Today's result makes me glad I did.
I'm starting to seriously worry about my training partner being able run the marathon we've planned so I had some doubts about continuing the intense training needed to do this. My wife thinks I should stick with my plan so I got up this morning determined to run long. The 2 easy days paid off. I ran 19.7 miles and found it easier than expected. The plan was for 19 miles but I felt pretty good toward the end decided to add a bit more. I though it might be a mile but was overly optimistic. Still 19.7 is satisfactory. I felt like I could have made the marathon distance so I've overcome that mental barrier. I feel really well tonight so my confidence is growing. Eight weeks to go.
