Last year, our focal point of training was the BWR 10-mile.
This year we completed the Wright County Half Marathon and managed to get into the Twin Cities 10 on Marathon weekend, but a return to BWR is too good to pass up. Well, either that or another half, but 10 miles is shorter. More on the TC 10 another time, which was my original wild hair.
Ran 9.5 miles this morning as the last “long" training run before Bear Water. Like last year, I plan to practice waiting on the last couple days – stand around for 20 minutes before beginning to run, which is what happens at real races.
Running teaches patience: when you want it to be over, all you can do is just keep putting one foot in front of the other again and again and . . . eventually – eventually – it is over. A lesson for life.
