17 Miles, 3 Hours 17 Minutes
Well, to be fair, I only ran 16.27 miles of it 
After only running 13 miles last week (and only 12 of them consecutive), I was really hoping to bounce back this week. I took a mini bagel with me in addition to my Runner’s GU, so that gave me a little extra fuel on my run. Definitely seemed to help. The weather seemed a bit cooler than last week, but also more humid since the remnants of Hanna had passed by the previous evening.
Overall, I’m satisfied, if not happy with running 16.27 consecutive miles, and walking the last .73. That would leave 9.96 miles left in a marathon. I wanted to run at least 16 miles this week to get my “remainder” down to the single digits 
Naturally, my legs felt like lead weight at the end. Having a Bud Light before even showering probably didn’t help my recover too much. Still, I made sure to stretch my quads and my hips immediately after running.
Next week? I hope to go about 19 miles. I’m using a different training schedule this year, that actually doesn’t call for any long runs over 22 miles! So my goal is for 19 miles next week, 22 miles the week after, then I start a 3 week taper.
Time will tell though, keep me in your heart!
