Another Long Run

The schedule said 11 miles today.  I started with the early groups to buy me some extra time.   I went 12.32 miles instead.  At the turn around, I was in desperate need for a bathroom and not a lot of options when I turned around.  So I kept pushing ahead knowing it would add some extra miles.   I'm glad nature called when it did.  My hope is that the extra mileage will help next week.  By the last 1.5 miles, I definitely started feeling like my usual tired self at that point of the race but pushed through it.  Amazingly enough, my pace was fairly consistent throughout the run.  Hopefully, that little extra will get me across the finish line next week with a respectable time given all my recent illnesses.
