Twenty Plus In Long Beach
Submitted by dac on Tue, 09/02/2008 - 18:16
For our anniversary we went to the beach for a couple of days. We had good weather and a great time with the girls. Lots of sand and surf.
I got a 20 plus miler in while were were at Long Beach. It was a relatively quick (for a 20 miler) 8:40 per mile average.
I am amazed at the difference temperature has made in my long runs of late. In the middle of August I was running my round trip around the Columbia river from I5 to I205 in 80+ degree weather and I hit the wall and had to walk.
This Long Beach run was in 55-60 degree weather and it felt great. I am really glad the Portland marathon will be in October early in the morning. It should be great running weather.
