I went on a 19 miler early yesterday (Friday) morning with friends. I just love running the long runs. They are like mini-expeditions to me. It was so beautiful outside yesterday with the snow falling, a nice coating of snow on the trees, and the peacefulness of the morning.
We ran for 3 hours and my only mishap was my slip, spin, and roll on a patch of snow-covered ice. The only lasting effect from that was a little bruise on my kneecap. It was a little painful during my short 4-mile recovery run this morning but it did not affect my running. It just hurt - kind of like it would hurt if someone whacked the side of my kneecap with a stick.
Now there are only 8 weeks until the Fargo Marathon. Next week I have a 20 mile long run planned. I can't wait. I think I will skip a planned Monday tempo run and hopefully run outside then and Tuesday. I'll do Kickboxing on Wednesday and this time I think my wife will join me in class.
