We were supposed to run 8 miles last Saturday. Well a storm created a bit of a problem. We had a huge tree down at less than a quarter mile before the turn-around point. So most of us (like yours truly) who chose not to try to climb over the tree ended up completing ~7.6 miles. Mine was again a walk/jog rather than a jog/walk. Not bad at all for me seeing that my previous best was 5 miles walking/jogging.
I am still being told by the trainers that I can make it so that I don't have to get on "The Bus of Shame" (non-finishers) at the Marine Corps Marathon. I will keep on trying. I like the way these experienced runners call that bus that picks up people who have not reached the 20 mile mark at 5 hrs "The Bus of Shame". It sure motivates one to try harder.
There will be No Bus of Shame for this old fart!
No way! I will finish.
