Last long run!

Done! My last long run (defined as over 20k :) before Hamilton is done, and now it's officially time to TAPER!

Because of schedule conflicts, I had to do my run before work. That's all well and good in the summer, but in mid-October, it's dark until about 7:30 am. So when I left at 6:30, I knew I'd have about an hour of running in the dark. Not my favourite thing. I saw a bit of the sun peaking up over the trees in the distance as I crossed the greenbelt, but by the time I came out of the woods on the other side the sun was up. The rest of the run was uneventful. But uneventful is good!  All in all, I did 20k: 7k warmup, 11k at marathon pace (6:30 min/km) and 2 km at about 6:10 min/km.

Not bad for a Wednesday morning!!
