No TNT group run today. The roads really were messed up. I have never seen so much snow in a December storm.... Oh well. I kept my run appointment at the gym, running on the treadmill for about an hour to get my 5 miles in. I followed the Galloway method (9/1) to a tee and felt pretty good when I was done. I stretched and took a lovely 30 minute shower in peace. Lots of endless hot water and no kids killing each other or needing to go potty.
I am bummed that I will not run with the group again til New Years Eve. I will have 2 weeks of long runs on my own - 6 and 7 milers. I know this is not a lot for the veteran marathon runners, but I honestly haven't done it since 2003 when I trained cluelessly for the half I ran. Today I really tried to focus on form and was actually able to catch myself getting sloppy if I zoned out. I am going to remember that... I am also going to put together some play lists that will take me through my runs. I do not want to feel the way I did after the half marathon -- sick, really horrible. I want to finish the way my coach has promised - up right and in relative comfort. I can take some discomfort, but if there's a way around it, I am all for it!
