Never got a medal and new running shirt on a final training long run before:) Actually, this training run got a little longer than the anticipated 20 miles:) Friend, Steve, rode with us this past weekend, to St. Louis where we went to see friends, Gil and Jan Kamps, and where he planned to run the Spirit of St. Loius Marathon. Since I was due for a final 20 mile training run (for Flying Pig on May 6th) I figured the first 20 miles of the St. Louis course would be a great idea. Built in water stops, crowd support, mile markers. Wow, all the good stuff. Felt so good though, that I decided to keep going and finish the course after all, strong and easy. Lloyd took this pic of Steve and I at a stretch stop on the 6 hour drive home.

Now it’s count-down/taper to Flying Pig. Can’t wait to run with you, Kris!!
