Yesterday was our final long run before the Detroit Half on October 21. It was the longest training run I have ever done (11 miles!) prior to a half and it feels really great to have such a long distance under my belt. My knees have been a little testy towards the end of these longer runs, so naturally, I have started to question if I had 2 more miles in me at the end of yesterday's run. The good news is that in the past, I've needed to go 3 more miles over that final run and was able to pull it off. 2 more? No problem!
Talking out some of the logistics during our run for the morning of the half was really exciting (minus the idea of it being any colder than it was today at 10AM...a brisk 40 degrees - what?!). I miss running with friends and training with Ryan has been great. While we haven't discussed the logistics of how we plan to "attack" the race, even starting/running the first few miles together will be such a treat!
Good luck you two!
