11 miles! Longest run before the big race!

11 miles was tough. Back in August, I thought my worst challenge for the long mileage would be my lung capacity. Since, I now am in pretty good aerobic shape, I have had no problems with that in about a month. My problems now are in my knees and the arches of my feet. It has been really tough these last couple of long runs to stay positive about how I will do in 3 weeks. My knees are super sore. I guess I am just going to have to take it a bit easier these next couple of weeks than even the training schedule suggests. There is plenty of rest, ice, compression, and elevation in my future! Oh, and probably plenty of ibuprofen.
