I don't want to jinx myself but this is the weekend I am scheduled to hit the 20-mile mark on my long run so that means tomorrow (Sunday) will be the day. I will be heading to the Delaware River Canal in Yardley, PA and begin my trek close to Cramer's Bakery. It will be 10 miles out and then 10 miles back.
20 miles will be my longest distance thus far. The last time I ran the canal was 2 weeks ago and I managed 15 miles. Then, last weekend, I ran the 18-Mile race in Long Beach Island, NJ. The last 4 miles of that race were a real struggle for me as the temperature was 85 degrees and I was not sufficiently hydrated.
To help me with my re-fueling, I bought a new water belt today with 4 containers that will provide me with plenty of room for water, electrolytes and carbohydrates so I should be all set to go.
Dinner this evening was Penne Pasta with Chicken and a Pink Cream Sauce. Simply delish. Now, all I need to do is get a good night's sleep and be sure to stretch, stretch, and stretch before I head out tomorrow.
Happy and Safe Running!
John
