15 Mile Long Run - DONE

Feeling very accomplished after running 15 miles today.  My Nike app decided to pause at 3.48 miles unbeknownst to me since I heard that British lady (app voice) jabbering the whole time anyway.  I don't have the confirmation or the splits.  I was assured it was a 15 mile route and regardless my butt ran for 2 hours and 22 minutes.

My original training plan was 5-6 miles 3 times a week plus a long run.  I've decided to throw out the old plan and in these last 8 weeks follow Hal Higdon's plan.  While the weekly mileage for each plan is not all that different.  Hal's mid week runs are varied in distance, say  4, 7, 3 miles.  This will work a little better for me and my schedule because I HATE THE TREADMILL!!!!  I can plan to do a 3 mile run on a treadmill day but on a babysitter day do a slightly longer run.  Plus, if I'm running 10 miles mid week perhaps I will trick myself into thinking that's not so far by race day.  We'll see.

I'm getting really pumped and thinking we REALLY need to book a hotel room pronto...
