tomorrow i shall run 16 miles. this shall be my last long run before the marathon type event for which i am registered. most training plans recommend at least 3 runs of over 18 miles. i shall not be following these training plans. i really don't see what could possibly go wrong with my plan. plus, after i return home, i shall eat graham crackers. yay!
