Last longest run before HM

Two weeks out and this weekend was to be my longest training run before the half marathon.  And truly the adage get it done and get it over with rings true for sure.  Yesterday when I ran it was 1 degree Celsius when I left the house, brrrr.  It was a long tight two shirt kind of run.  There was a little bit of misty rain interspersed with a bit of sun later on.   But today however, it was raining this morning, soaking rain.   Soooo glad I did this run on Saturday!  Whew.

I am getting bored with running round and round town here, or out and back on the long country roads as the kms rise, so I sat with Google maps and plotted out a new route, half of which I'd never run before, let alone drove down.   What a lovely run down some beautiful country roads.

I started my live Garmin tracker for hubby who was still in bed and off I went, so he would know where I was.

Whew it was a long one.  18.47km.  Yes yes I know, why didn't I run that extra .03.  Don't ask me.  All I remember was thinking I had gotten back to the car, I had done my 18.  Finished !

And with that I also accomplished my run 100km for August.   So happy, probably still one more short run in me tomorrow night.    Photo down Dalvui Lane looking across to Mt. Noorat, love the old stone fences, they are a work of art, even as they are crumbling.

Almost Spring, roll on Tuesday.  I am soooooo over this winter, it's been a shocker.  Ready to set some September goals, one of which is the #SIIS  (smash it in September) that the 12wbt Runners Connect group are on board with.  Set your goals and achieve them.  Watch this space.
