Talk about a challenge. That was the worst thing I've ever had to do. I'm sorry, I'm so sick of talking about it - I'm not sure how much detail I can go into...
Lets see, we had a beautiful day, perfect prep week (running, eating, and sleeping), pretty but with UC, I was pretty much out of juice at mile 9. It honestly felt like I hadn't trained a day for this thing. It was miserable. I owe it all to Chip who got me through each grueling mile. You can see the pep in his face compared to mine. I was gassed. That's about all I got. Like Matthew says, "Gotta focus on the Positive!!"
So, that's what we'll do. This week is another tough week but it's my last week to try to improve my fitness. I'm working toward another 18 miler this weekend. I'm also going on Prednosone for my UC because I can't take these symptoms anymore. Here is my weeks schedule:
Tues: 5.77 at 6:56/mi
Wed: 10 or so around 8:00/mi
Thurs: prob long and slow
Fri: off
Sat: 18
Sun - April 20: taper
