I think we run on the same trails; the long, cool, shady trails in the DC area are perfect for long runs.Kathy Qhttp://kathyqruns.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-90570125629960840032012-09-18T03:20:49.000-04:002012-09-18T03:20:49.000-04:00Great 18, Jess!!Great 18, Jess!!Krissy @ Shiawase Lifehttp://shiawaselife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-70255262816496290182012-09-18T04:17:09.000-04:002012-09-18T04:17:09.000-04:00Great job!

I've never attempted a marathon, but I'm training for my second half, and I once I get up into double digits I get pre-long run anxiety. It's comforting to know that I'm not alone! good luck with the training :)Esthernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-5611240796942871602012-09-18T10:39:40.000-04:002012-09-18T10:39:40.000-04:00Awesome run, Jess!

I also carry Gu with me on my long runs.
