upping the ante

Our last scheduled long run is next week. According to our training program we are supposed to be running 9 miles. Our coach Troy is encouraging us to increase that to 10 so our confidence will increase as well. Makes sense to me...on the day of the race, adding only 3 more miles versus 4 sounds a lot less in the grand scheme of all things running.

Definitely this second 8-miler was easier than the first time around and we felt we could have kept going. What an amazing feeling!

Physical discipline- in the form of running- is truly an amazing process.
