Saturday was another long training day. My last REAL long mileage day before race day. Now, it’s time for a good long taper.

26.46 miles! |
My legs were crampy and unhappy from the start. My mood usually starts out good then implodes closer to the end. Not this day. It started out all doom and gloom.
I did mix up my route and took the greenbelt to the end from the Garden City side.
Herons? Cranes? Whatever they were, there was a nesting site of about 60 nests. Quite interesting.
Blarg. But I did get my mileage in. I don’t care about speed. Just distance. And I got a little extra distance in. That was an oopsie, but that makes me an ultra runner, right?
After the slog, took my bestie, and we put a little hurt in the Chinese buffet. #nom
I actually could go for a little bit more of that today!
Then headed home and made a drinkie, hopped into an Epsom salt bath with my book.

If you make the Absolut drinks as they say, they are really good. The Simple Syrup, I made it with ginger. So even better.
How was your weekend? Any fun eating or drinking?
