Comments:
Tons of people on the Prairie Path early this morning - I assume a lot of marathoners getting their long runs in as well. Against my better judgement, I didn't go to the bathroom before I left which ultimately led to a very abrupt and desperate search for a bathroom around mile 7 - fortunately I was able to locate one in time...but it was JUST in time. Anyway, the majority of the run was uneventful - Leslie K. tried to accompany me on her bike, but the bike didn't cooperate and she had to turn around towards the beginning - I felt bad for her, she really wanted to be there for me and that's one thing that makes her so great. Miles 13 through 16 were M pace and I was feeling pretty beat (and beat-up) by the end of the run. Splits below, overall I'm happy with how it went today, I believe that this will be the longest distance I run before running the marathon so at least I know I can make it 18.
