Super-Terrific Training Run

I ran 15 miles yesterday, considering it a practice run for next week's marathon in Grand Rapids. Everything went perfectly -- I was neither under-hydrated nor over-hydrated. I ate a Clif Bar starting at mile 4, and I had two energy gels at miles 9.5 and 13. The last mile of my training run was also the fastest of the run, and I think I could have kept going.

Now, my pace yesterday was about a minute per mile slower than what it will be in Grand Rapids, but I still think things are looking great. I've got a four-miler tomorrow, a three-miler on Wednesday, rest on Thursday, rest on Friday, a two-miler on Saturday, and then it's RACE TIME!

Medal pictures: If you check out the Marathon History link on the right, you can now see images of all the marathon medals I've won. Pretty neat, eh?
