20 miles

I ran 20 miles yesterday morning. It was cold, it was ugly, it was brutal, but I made it. Hopefully at the end of the day on January 16, 2005 I will be able to say the last three words of that sentence.

The 20 miler was the longest run on this marathon training program. One of my goals for marathon training was to at least make it to the starting line and barring some freak accident I'll make it, so I am happy. Now all that is left is a three week taper, and to run and finish the race. I have no other goal. No time goal, no one to try to beat except my mind.
