Reading comprehension is usually an easy A for me, but I obviously didn't give the schedule for last week more than a quick once over. I spent Friday night printing off my map, packing my goo, charging my watch, downloading new music, laying out my clothes and making sure I got to bed early. Saturday morning, I showed up at the lake ready for 23 miles. I was literally 2 minutes from our start time when I realized through a short conversation with the ATP folks that the NYC group was only scheduled to run 12 miles that day. I had mistakenly read the mileage for the Marine Corp marathon. The upside? Easiest 12 miles ever. The downside? I still have a 23 mile run ahead of me. Oh well, as Michelle pointed out, this was an awesome surprise --- if there can be such a thing as an awesome surprise at 5 a.m.So, this week, I'm gearing up again. I'm running 23 miles this Saturday. No --- for real. Last long run before the marathon. Come on taper!
