I ran 13 miles today for my long run, and it was a miracle that I made it home without having to go the bathroom. Around mile 6 nature called and there was no bathroom anywhere. I was seriously contemplating making a trip to the bushes, but I somehow forced myself not to think about it and I made it home. Other than that it was a good run. It was 13 miles, and I ran it pretty much as fast as I could. I just wanted to see what I could do, and I was relatively pleased. I ran it in 1:32 mid, which is just over 7 minute miles. If I was to hold that pace for the entire marathon, it would be about 3:07. I think with another few months training and a good taper that is definately possible. Im pretty happy about how my training is going right now.
My left knee is still bothering me, and it hurts when I stretch it and walk up stairs. I am pretty sure it is from doing squats, because it doesn't hurt at all when I run. I don't want an injury, but I am not too worried about it right now. It is more annoying than painful. Overall, I ran 40 miles again this week, and it seems to get easier every week.
