I ran my first 20 miler of this marathon cycle a few weeks ago. I then dropped back to 16, then back up to 18, and today I completed my second 20 miler.
I managed to get out the door by 9am, which means I finished before noon. This is probably my single greatest achievement of the winter so far.
February is in the rearview, but its weather lives on. A light snow fell during the last five miles.
This was probably my first long run of the entire training cycle in which I didn't think "oh God, when will I be finished?" When I did finish, I thought about how easily I could have kept going.
It was a nice confidence booster.
March is going to be a long month, but it will all be worth it on April 20th.
