Following last
week’s C&O Canal Run experience I must admit being quite uncomfortable with
the idea of a JFK training run with a group. It worked out just fine. In fact had Sunday
been JFK day I’m sure I would have finished the race. Our run ended up with twenty eight miles, covering all of the AT portion and half of what we will
have to run on the canal. I was tired, my feet were sore but overall I was
pleased with how I felt.
There is no
explanation to my good fortune, there was no special preparation. The two day
prep of low fiber / liquid diet was “tossed” to the dogs as a miserable
failure.
Truth be
known, Susan and I enjoyed a nice evening out inclusive of a couple glasses of red
wine the night before the run. Perhaps this will be incorporated into JFK preparation
eighteen days from now.
On the drive
to meet my fellow runners I was fortunate enough to witness an extremely stunning
sunrise. The photograph does not do it justice.
