Last long run before marathon (take two)
I ran 65 minutes today as my last long run before the Grand Rapids marathon. It was the same amount of running that was on my schedule the week before the last marathon two weeks ago. Has it been two weeks? In a way it seems like yesterday, but on the other hand it feels like so much time has passed since that time.
I tried out my “cool” weather outfit. The same thing I wore to the Chicago marathon plus an added long sleeve top that has cool flip over hand warming things. It was 48 and sunny when I left, about 50 when I got home. I think that the outfit should be perfect if I have similar weather. I will probably ending up giving the top layer off to Prince E at some point because I was warmed up by the end of the run today.
Of course if it rains, I have no idea what I will wear. Probably pants? Not sure.
I noticed on my run today that it was Canadian Geese sports day! I saw geese playing soccer and baseball! Photographic proof below.
funny, the geese near us usually play golf.

The geese near me are triathletes–swimming, running and doing their business on the bike path.
I’m excited for your M next weekend. Chicago was good practice. I think that you should use the same pacing strategy. I hope that it is a great experience.
