The temperature was great, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds a few times, and the air was saturated from the rains that soaked us all morning. When I returned from my 6-mile run my neighbors commented on how sweaty I was since the evening was so mild. Other than the humidity, the run went nice and easy. I stretched out some lingering sore spots from Saturday's long run, but nothing too bad.
It's amazing how my body's response has changed in the past couple of years. When I was at this point in my first training plan I thought I was going to die. Now it seems routine. Sure, I have my bad runs (see the Saturday before this last one) and I won't say a 20-mile run is easy, but now that I've done it several times my body doesn't rise up in revolt as before.
Made the hotel reservation for the night before the race, so I'm all in now. The hotel close to the finish line had a bunch of bad reviews online, so I went with the one close to the start. It's also where I pick up my packet and the location for the pre-race pasta dinner, which I also signed up for. Should be a good time.
