Last 20 mile run before my marathon. Still haven't decided if I'm going to run the Ft Worth Cowtown or the Woodlands. This run was very similar to last week's 20 miler but my HR was a little higher in the early miles. Nasty day at 50 degrees, 100% humidity and windy. Now it's time to start to taper off. Not sure how this will equate to marathon time but probably not a PR. I do think I can get the BQ though and that's my main goal! With my inconsistent schedule I've had a hard time getting in the miles I wanted to get in. I wish I could have run a few more. I was happy with the speed of my last two miles although it was hard to get there. My legs are feeling great but my cardio still seems to be struggling.

Wow... This was hilly! Were in Arkansas at Greersferry Lake, at the base of the Ozark Mountains, at a retreat! Beautiful but tough running. :-)

It's funny how the same run can be so different from one day to the next. I would have though I'd run this a little slower today, but with less effort, I was several seconds faster today. Still in Arkansas at the Retreat. It is really hilly where I ran. I'm not used to running down that steep of hills! (Can someone tell me how to do it?) It hurt my hips and butt and I was going really slow, not really a run just an aquard slow gallop. I though I could gain some time but it's just too steep. I've worked some muscles on both the steep uphill and downhill that I haven't worked before! Mile 3 & 4 uphill were really tough!
