Last long run before RnR
My last run was Monday night (the 16th). The weekend went by without a long run, and, being as it's time to taper, I had to try for one last long one. Campbell Park as a base was a given, but the concept of those 3 2-mile loops at the end were not being perceived favorably by my psyche, so I did this:1) a "warm-up" 2 mile loop to start things off
2) a LGHS 12 mile loop to get it out of the way
3) a second 2 mile loop to break up the long loops
4) a quick dash to Meridian and back for variety
5) had to stop here (i.e. before the final 2 mile loop), due to:
coldness (night air on my sweaty clothes),
darkness (I'd been running pretty much in the dark since Meridian) and
parking lot closure (at 10 pm)
But it was good. Time was slower than when influenced by the flying Pegasissie, CT or race day mentality (somehow I managed to take 4.5 hours just for 21 miles), but legs needed to relive the memory of the "long haul" to come in only two more weeks!
