according to paula radcliffe and lance armstrong, both chilena and i recorded our longest runs ever! (full disclosure: i got a new nike sensor post-marathon and have only been using this one for a month) HOORAY!
i suggested that we swap in wk 4's 5 mile wknd long run for wk 6's ( i think) 7 miler, in honor of chilenas and my last opportunity to do a wknd long run together, and potentially my last wknd in nyc (single silent tear). mother nature was not so much cheering us on, however. miles 1-4 were marked by intense heat and humidity, while miles 5-7 brought sheets of rain pouring down on us. visibility was not great and was a teens worried about my ipod breaking due to water damage, but it actually felt GREAT after the unbearable heat we had during the first part of the run (which was rough). and we felt super hard core running rocky style through the intense rain and intense shine.
finished the run with a nice little sprint (chills actually did TWO bc her ipod was lagging behind mine in recording the mileage and she couldnt bear the thought of her ipod not recording her run as anything short of a 7 miler--impressive!). anyway, that was it. felt good. YEAH! amit captured some of the post-race stretching (or just pose-striking, in some cases) for all to enjoy. please note the sweat and rain stains--badges of hard core.
