Last LR (Long Run)

My last LR was on Friday, March 3rd. Keinan said go for 16 my choice....I decided to go back to where it all began.

Ready for the Last LR


I had my firs LR back in Nov of 2011 so I only thought it would be right to go back to where it began HB and compare what 4 months have done.

Huntington Beach, CA

Invited my friend Corrine to come with me. She is not a runner but I said she could be active and ride her bike. She said yes and I was very happy I was able to motivate someone to go out be active and enjoy the day. We started off around 7am she rode her bike and was off on her own and I was enjoying my comfort zone the beach.....

I felt the weather to be perfect it was nice and crisp! I had my gloves on that ended up coming off a little into the run because I had to tie my shoes and got hot. My run went from HB to Seal Beach! It was nice to see LB from Seal Beach. I didn't exactly know he mileage at that point, but that's when I decided to turn back and head back to HB it started to get hotter and didn't have much water left. Corrine went to Belmont Shores and back.

Seal Beach, CA


On the way back the weather wasn't the nicest. It stared to get windy and my allergies started to act up. To top it off my butt started to get tight. So the last half of the run wasn't so pleasant, bu I made the most of it and enjoyed my favorite scenery. By the time I got back to the pier it was a nice 17 miles! My pace was 9:53min/mi and other than my butt being tight I felt good. Now if I can keep the pace the day of it would be perfect!!!!

I am feeling very very confident that I can do this without getting injured and at a great pace!
