2.35 miles I interrupted my precious sleep last night by waking up at midnight to watch the Berlin Marathon and what a race that was! Oh, em gee that was epic with Eliud Kipchoge breaking his new World Record and Tigist Assefa taking the course record on the women’s race! It was so much fun…
12.11 miles At this point in training, it’s mentally easier knowing today is only 12 miles, but at the same time, physically a lot can happen in 12 miles. Luckily no blisters today, but there are still little details I need to figure out. However, I feel closer to setting those decisions down well before…

1.42 miles A little walking and stretching to try and shake out the soreness and fatigue from yesterday’s 20 miler that I’m still processing. All I know is there are some decisions I need to make between now and race day so that’s what I’ll be doing the next few weeks because Week 15 is completed….
