21+ miles. Yes, folks, I completed the first of my mega long runs this morning. As for my speaking of not having the want anymore to run? I think I found my running mojo this morning as I not only ran the 21+ miles but negative split it in a big bad way. I did an up and back route with my dad which was along the Washington Crossing path on the NJ side (it’s prettier!). Along the way, I passed Shore Turtle! Hopefully next time we’ll be able to chat. This time I was about 15 miles into the run so talking was not part of the deal:-)
Anyway, my dad gets a gold star for the fact he ran the entire 21 with me! He is not training for a marathon and is mere weeks from his 60th birthday! No, I didn’t force him to do this. He wanted this punishment under his own accord. In his own words: “I wanted to do it just because I can.” Oy vey.
The run had me hit that zen like feel about 13 miles in. I just felt like I could run forever. It was wonderful considering the obscene humidity. My times? I was about 4 minutes faster on the way back. Not too shabby. Good sign for 6 weeks from now. Bring it on!
Oh and it should be mentioned this run was done after having a surprise birthday party for my dad the night before. I got about 5 hours of sleep and ran the first 10 miles on the night before’s food.

Hey!
Good job with the long long run on a hot day. Next time you’re doing a long run in the area let me know. I’d be glad to set up an aid station or I could run part of it with you (if I can keep up!).

Re: your dad
Precisely. He’s a very active person and has been training for triathlons. However, it’s just a different story to go out and run 21 miles!!

Seriously… that is pretty amazing.
Good work out of you too. Running a negative split at 21 miles is no effing joke!
