Still on Schedule!
Wow! I cannot believe it! Saturday morning, I ran 19.48 miles! That is the farthest I have ever run at one time. The mileage increases to 5 and 8 mile runs this week!
The first 15 miles were at my training race pace (as slow as it is), but the last 4 miles slowed down significantly. It was an outdoors run in beautiful weather among a crowd of runners. It was great!
I thought I was doing and feeling pretty good, but when I rode the bike this morning, I felt it in the thighs at first. I was pretty good by the end of the ride.
So… Last week, I ran 40.26 miles. I rode the bike for 16 miles.
This weekend? I am headed out for a Labor Day Camping trip. I’ll run on both Friday and Saturday, but those should be easy at 5 and 13 miles respectively.
If you are running or training every weekend, check out the running group on What's a Few Miles Among Friends? Join this group of great virtual runners!
Have a good week and a great holiday everybody! Thanks for reading my blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I put a link there to your blog. Wow, I am heading toward long runs like your, but still have a hard time imagining what that long FEELS like. I've run 13.1 before, but there is a point that I guess it is hard to imagine longere distances and how you'll feel in them.
Great job, Charlie. You're making Chicago easier and easier by the run!
Wow. That is amazing. A 19.5 miler. Awesome job. Congrats.
Good for you with that long one. No matter how pitiful (or good) the training runs are I have learned they are like stock history- past performance is no guarantee of future returns. It helps but it's nothing to bank on. After yesterday, I am hoping THAT was nothing to take to the bank.
Nice going. Have fun camping.
Great job. You are doing awesome. Glad everything is staying on track. Keep it up. Enjoy the camping trip this weekend.
Enjoy the camping trip; I like how you now consider a 13 mile run "easy"!
Great job, Charlie! How wonderful to be able to run outdoors (I will in September!). Enjoy your camping trip.
You're doing a great job. Thanks for sharing all your experiences.
I'm with Gordon.Running more than 13.1 is a mystery to me.I need to get out there and give it a shot.
Congrats on the long run - you're doing amazingly well!
great going out there Charlie - you're really getting there now! Fabulous mileage. Can't wait to meet you in 5 1/2 weeks!
