Awesome mileage! Way to go. It's hard to believe that our marathon training is entering its final phase. Glad to hear you running buddy is back to 100%!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I couldn't believe how "easy" 190+ miles was! Didn't seem like a huge time suck. Yay marathons! :)

ReplyDeleteYour mileage numbers never cease to amaze me. Do you realize that you've run almost as many miles in 7.5 weeks of marathon training as I have run this entire calendar year?!?!? WOW!!!!!
