23 Miler!

Wow! I can't believe we have made it this far!
This was our longest training run and will be the farthest we go until marathon day!
We strategized this run even better than our 20 to try to head off any bonkiness at the pass.
We ran two 11.5 mile loops. We parked one car at the start and one car at mile 15.5.
This is us at 15.5 taking a 30 second banana break.
Here I am after the run putting on my compression sleeves. These things are awesome and I highly recommend them to my dancer friends. They get the blood to the calves and shins and they feel so good. They make full leg ones too!
Here's Terry stretching in his sleeves after. Despite the new pain I'm feeling and Terry's injury, I think this was our best long run. We really did feel good and had tons of energy and it was a great confidence booster. We have been running slightly slower than we were pre injury and I like it because we don't get bonky at all.
It was the day before my birthday so that night we celebrated at a nice restaurant in Saratoga called the Plumed Horse. We had champagne and the tasting menu, wine and dessert. We deserved the splurge.
Here are some videos from our run! Enjoy!
