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!

About me
I'm a 30-something computer nerd who took up running a few years ago and got addicted. Now I blog about it, keep spreadsheets about it, have a couple paper journals for logging it, and ... well, I'm a mess.
