Today was my last long run. The weather was gorgeous. Due to long work hours (thanks to the NYC marathon), I didn't have a chance to get a long run in this past weekend, so I knocked out 20 miles today. In the spirit of the marathon, I ran a few sections through Brooklyn, Queens, and Central Park. Along the course near the Pulaski Bridge (the halfway point of the marathon), the road was speckled with discarded gel packets. As I thought about the thousands of runners who pounded the streets, I once again thought of how great running is. A mere 48 hours before, some of the most elite distance runners in the world were running the exact course I was on. In running, participants are on the same course as the professionals. That doesn't happen in other sports.
I felt pretty strong the entire run. Now its time to dial it back and knock out some riding and swimming before dialing those back as well. Less than 3 weeks.
