Running Thoughts: Week 16

We're comin to the home stretch...we're only a weekend away from the big event.
Last week's 12 miler at Long Beach was pretty rough. The big pay-off of course was the nice scenic backdrop- of the Queen Mary and Pacific Ocean.
My running rhythm was totally thrown off with my sudden urge to use the public restroom...hopefully I'll prepare myself to not have to go through that on the day of the event. In time, I was able to get back into the rhythm.
Overall, it was definitely an accomplishment, and a good mental exercise- for things to come.
I also made the mistake of not putting my knee support, as I totally felt my knee giving way at the final mile...thus I had to walk the last mile. So the past few days, and even now, I felt the residual effects of the 12 miler- the soreness-- recovery sure sucks doesn't it? haha...also been watching my right knee, hopefully it'll be all good to go for the big event.

So am I ready? I think I am. Are you?
