20 Mile Marathon Training Run
November 11, 2013
Today I ran from Snohomish to Arlington on the Centennial Trail. I can’t say it was easy or pain-free but I accomplished it. We drove to downtown Snohomish early this morning so I could start my run. 4:16:28 and 20 miles later in Arlington I was finished.
Mark was a wonderful support person. He drove to the different trailheads on the Centennial Trail and supplied me with Gatorade and GU packets. I didn’t have to worry about carrying any extra weight of liquids. Also my race belt is too small to carry the amount of GU and Shot Bloks I needed.
I saw a mother and baby deer at mile 18. I was able to take a picture of the fawn before they both ran off.
The 20 mile run today was very important. I needed it to prove I would be able to do the marathon. I had a disastrous 18 mile run, due to the fact it was split up between a half marathon and my nutrition was off. Today’s run wasn’t the confidence builder I had hoped, but I did complete it.
