I finished my longest run that I will be doing besides the actual marathon this weekend. I run with Arlington Road Runners and our loop went around Hains Point and then up Crescent Trail. It was a beautiful run and I felt pretty good considering the 22 mile distance. The only down side came from some wet socks which proved to be excellent blister magnets.
I've been experimenting with food on my long runs. They recommend that you bring some supplement so that you have enough energy to make it through the run. I stupidly tried one of my long runs without eating breakfast or a food supplement and had to stop before the end because I was feeling light-headed and dizzy. The sport jelly beans are my favorites. Currently the red and orange are my favorite flavors. My food routine now consists of a banana for breakfast and some beans for the run.
Only one more month until the marathon! I hope everyone's training is going well.
