so Saturday was the big 18 mile training run...I was very stressed out before I went running, and it was 20 degrees when we started...usually I do not look at the course map until right before I run (out of laziness)...
18 miles is a long way...we ran 9 miles in one direction then turned around and ran back...
so for my Nashville friends, here is a "word picture" of how far that is...
I started at David Lipscomb University and ran to the Bongo Java in EAST Nashville and back.
Yeah that boggled my mind...I ran through Belmont, up Music Row to the Musica (they might as well just re-name it the naked statue), down Demonbeun over the bridge to 2nd...up 2nd past all the bars through downtown to Union/Woodland...past the Titans football stadium...went down Woodland to 11th , the road Bongo is on...ran down past Bongo to Shelby and turned around and ran back.
needless to say, it was a challenge!!
And for my Orlando friends...it is about the same distance from my old house to the Orlando Airport...
Only one more long run before the BIG race...Dec. 23 I have 20 to run...man I will have no guilt over-indulging this Christmas!! :)
Hope you are havng a great day!
