Long Runs Getting Longer

This weekend was our 17 mile long run in preparation for upcoming marathons. Dan, Charles Chuck and I left Medina at 7 am and went to Lock 29 and found Frank in the parking lot with 9 miles in already. We all take off and Frank leaves us at about 5 and sends us off into the rain which he avoided for the day. Our 17 went smooth with Dan and I kicking out a couple low 7 minute miles in the last 2 miles. Later that day we went the Elkins BBQ and spent 7 hours there eating talking and playing corn hole. Then after 5 1/2 hours of sleep we got up and arrived at Second Sole at 6 am for the 2nd annual Double Trouble 10k. Marsha and I directed people at the 1.5 mile turn around and got to see most people twice as it was a double loop for the 10k runners and a single loop for the 5k relay.
