20 Miler- Sunday, November 13th

20 Miles today. good long run.. longest distance I have to run in the training program.
Officially 3 weeks out from race day. It was a wet, soggy run.. it started snowing.. then turned to rain at mile 2.. so had to run 18 mores miles with wet shoes, wet coat, wet head, soggy everything. Blisters started forming on the inside arches of both feed at mile 8, ouch-
due to wet sock, wet shoe syndrome.. haha
got thru it- ditched a wet coat at mile 10 and replaced with a funny poncho with Mickey Mouse on it- but it did the trick- kept me dry underneath - and made me look like a large french fry running down the road. Hey, it was funny enough to make me laugh.
33 degrees - cold... but it's over. Next weekend- only 13 miles - piece of cake after today. ha ha
took over 4 hours to complete- would have been faster- had it not been for wet, cold body
and sorely blistered feet.
