Last Saturday the 6th was our longer TNT training run of the season. And I did it!! I ran for 2 1/1 hours, my longest ever. Got 11 miles in!! It was a beautiful day to run through 5 Mile Drive & beyond. I think I will be able to finish the half in less than my estimated 3 hours. Yes, I am slow, but I WILL finish!!
My feet were burning the last mile, so I may check out some different socks in the next week. Or bring an extra pair to change on race day. I wore my old shoes on my short recovery run Sunday and I really do like them better than my current shoes. But I think they are a little too worn out to go the distance. And it's too close to race day to get a new pair, even if it fit the budget. They'll work, but something to keep in mind. The insoles I bought at Route 16 seemed to aggravate my hip issue & knees too, so took them out. They should be fine in my hikers. The Target ones seem to work best, LOL!!
