A friend at church tonight, Jerry Hoeschen, actually stopped by my fundraising table to check in on my running progress. Jerry is a pretty avid runner, and I've seen him at several races in the past, so when I told him I'm only doing 5-8 miles, he was a little concerned -- and now so am I! I know I need to get some long distance runs in, even for just the 1/2 marathon, so Jerry made me an offer... we're going to (attempt to) run about 12 miles Saturday morning, with a water stop along the way.
The plan is to run from/to Plattsmouth and Beaver Lake, down along highway 75. The forecast is for a nice day, high in the mid 60s, so hopefully this all plays out well. I'm thinking about taking my dog Roscoe along for the run, I'm sure he'll love it, I just don't want him to get hit by taffic or run through any broken glass. Roscoe and I ran at least 2x this weekend, so that was good -- he's gotten quite a workout lately. Now I'm going to be running quite a few miles this week on Mon, Tue, Th and easier days on Wed and Friday to prep for this long run. Sunday will definately be a day of rest again! (and homework/fundraising)
