Today's training schedule called for a 14 mile run. Sometimes you look forward to them and sometimes you don't. I was on my run yesterday after work (6 miles) and though it was extremely windy I thought to myself if I feel like this tomorrow I will be able to do my 14 miler and well I did.
It's nice and sunny today and mild at around 49 degrees and not very windy at all. Those conditions make for great training runs, and easy distance runs.
Now I'm pretty sure I went past 14 miles but I can't be sure. I went from my building to the river, then up the Hudson river to 95th street and all the way back. The first and last 5 miles are actually measured with signs, but I don't start that the first mile mark as I start at my building and go up the river, where as the first mile mark is on the highway, so my first mile is longer than the markers and there are only markers for the first five miles. So I had to do miles 6 and 7 via the 5 mile pace.
Anyway it felt great. Enjoy those long runs when they come up as they make the short runs seem very, very easy.
