Did a 15 mile run today.
As I was telling my mother-in-law, how I feel about training progress depends a lot on framing. 15 miles doesn’t seem like that much more than the half marathon distance I hit in July. This run felt much better than that first half, but part of me is a bit disappointed that a 5 hour marathon feels out of reach (although who knows, cool weather might speed me up *a lot*). Summer heat was rough. August heartbreak (our rabbit, Nyssa died) took a toll on training.

But also, I’m really doing this. Setbacks might require adjusting my pace, but I’m not quitting. At the beginning of the year, my goal was to finish, and even that felt a bit ridiculous. And if I look at how far I have come, it’s a lot. I definitely feel the best I have since 2021, probably the best since my ectopic pregnancy in 2014. I think 15 miles is the furthest I’ve run in my life. I know I did some runs over 10 miles as a teenager, but I don’t think quite this far. So 🎉 (2/2)
