Saturday= Long run!

Last long run (well, a run over 14 miles) of the training plan! Exactly 14 days until the Olympic Trials! I can smell the taper beginning...

Today: 20 miles at "steady pace" was completed with one of my most accountable sole sisters- Colleen. We determined this morning, that we had not run together since December 13th, which meant we had a lot to discuss and running 20 miles together was the perfect time to do it! I love the feeling of finishing a long run on a Saturday morning, getting things around the apartment done, and eating breakfast with some joe before most are even out of bed. I can remember running with my Bulldogs at Truman State and seeing random college students walking home in their "yesterday clothes" as we were finishing morning workouts. Some things don't change... ~6:05am, we started our 20 miles as bar-goers were returning to their cars at the local Piano Bar :)

Well, off to Earling, Iowa for one more family Christmas and Grandma Alice's birthday bash!
A very happy and safe New Year, to you!
