And done!

Got through to the finish - approximately 6:40. None of which would have been possible without the shepherding of Bethany and Erin. Nicely done by all.

Heading for the stretch run

I'm guessing that our blog is winding down, or pretty much done. Just a few miscellaneous notes, and I'll stop yakking:

• Completed the MS-150 last weekend, which should help with MCM. My longest training run last year was 10 miles, and I'm virtually certain that doing the MS-150 was the only thing that got me to 17 miles at MCM. They say that cycling and running don't really cross-apply much, but I tend to think that's for elite athletes. For me, running seemed to make this year's MS-150 much easier, and I think it will work the other way, too.

• Aiming for 9-10 miles tomorrow.

• 22 miles with Bethany next weekend, ja?

• Then it's taper time, with the emphasis being on intervals and gradually bumping up my average speed.

Well, that just about sums it up. See y'all in DC!
