One more long run and then it's time for the marathon. Where the heck has the summer gone?

Going Long
Today was a LONG run. There is only one place in Columbus to run long and that's the Olentangy Trail. When you run there on a Saturday it is crowded, like hundreds of runners. I started the run with my dad but soon found my friends Mary and Molly who are also running the Nike Women's Marathon. I ran with them for about 9 miles before I had to change zones. I felt bad that I had left my dad, but he was only running 12 and there were others he was running with. I was feeling good until about 17 miles when I had had enough. I sloughed through the final miles and completed 20 in just over three hours. This is the end of my three week build and I couldn't be happier to be done. My knees ache, my back is killing me, and I'm ready to sleep for days on end.

It's dark so early again :( I'm eagerly awaiting the cooler weather, but the darkness makes me sad.
Where the heck has summer gone?
- I totally know the feeling of that. That is exactly what I thought when my first race all of a sudden came up.
