Training for 70.3 was awesome in a lot of ways -- I lost weight, got stronger, and didn't hurt myself. But by the end, I felt worn down and my running speed had declined quite a bit from my spring workouts. Today, after taking it pretty easy for a few weeks, I went out and just ran. Nothing special. I just felt good, started out faster than usual, and decided to keep going. After a pretty blah long run on Sunday, this was exactly the run I needed to get my marathon training motivation back up.
P.S. I'm working on the Racine recap, I promise. It will be up soon. With many photos.
