Run Overview
Today is my long run. Which means I am trying to do everything as close to the race day as possible. That means I wake up at the same time. Start the run at the same time. Use the same clothes, shoes, nutrition, and stretching/warmups. So, wake up 5:00 am. Put a coffee pot on, drink a glass of water with some salt. Eat 2 pieces of bread. Stretch, use a bathroom. and Start running at 6 am.
Todays, run felt really good. I only ran for an hour and by now this feels like just a short run. It's getting warmer here so I don't have to put on layers of clothing and that feels great as well. Very excited and can't wait for my race next Sunda.
