[14]

ORN:  This morning, I got up to go run, but then I went back to bed for a half hour.  I wanted another hour, but Fernando wanted to go out and eat breakfast.  So that was that for me and sleeping in today.  I had a long, late night, and I could have used the sleep.  But since I was up anyway, I geared up and hit the road.  I ran 13 miles in 2:15'48".  That was a good time but not a great one.  I could have run a little faster, but today just wasn't the day.  I totally believe I could do a sub-two-hour half marathon.

What's most exciting to me about today's run was the realization that this would be my last 13-mile workout.  I have no intention, at this time, of ever running another marathon.  Instead, I am going to strive to become the best half-marathoner I can be, and I don't need to run 13+ miles on a weekend to do that unless it's race day. 

Two weeks until Chicago!
