Last week I ran 19 miles - almost 3/4 of a marathon. That was over 4 separate runs, however. I won't dip below the 20 mile mark until the 5th week of college football season - actually, the last week before the race.
The heat wave has continued - it was 102 degrees on Saturday, with most other days in the high 90's. I've had to run later in the evening to avoid the excessive heat, but I'm still running in the 80's, which makes a big difference.
I went to the Body Worlds exhibit at the Denver Museum of Natural History yesterday - it's only in Denver for a couple more weeks and it's worth seeing if you can make it. The focus was on the heart, which I've been reading a lot about lately. We learned about heart disease, heart attacks, lung disease and cancer. We also saw the what a healthy body should look like. I'm focused on preparing for this race, but after seeing some of what I saw yesterday, I'm much more motivated to keep running into the winter!
On the topic of longevity, Happy 95th Birthday to my Grandfather who lives in British Columbia, Canada!
