hooray!

I had a big morning, it was my last training long run before the half marathon (14 days away...yikes), and it was the longest I'd done so far, 12 miles. I went bed early last night after having a good dinner, and got up early tonight, had a packed of energy beans, some cereal and a banana and then set off to the MOS to park and run along the Charles. I decided that I was going to do 2 BU/MOS loops, and I successfully finished in.....

2:03.38!

I was PUMPED, I felt pretty good (thanks to the energy beans and hydrating) and gained a whole lot of confidence...there were exactly 2 times I stopped to walk, when I had to cross the Bay State Rd footbridge to cross Storrow Drive - I was really proud of that!

Only have to add 1.1 more miles and I'll be golden, and if I do as well as I did today, I'll definitely come in under my goal time...huzzah!
