Yesterday, 2/1/14, Cindy and Peggy ran 16 miles. We had used a handy site (www.mapmyride.com) to pick out a route based on distance (16 miles) and elevation (minimal, in this case, ~119 feet). It wasn't until we drove out to the starting point for the route that we realized just how far 16 miles is. Thankfully, the weather was beautiful (60 F with a slight breeze) and the route along the Santa Ana river was almost perfect.
Aside from some discomfort in their legs (I mean, who wouldn't have discomfort!?!), they did marvelously. Now, a day later, they feel great. We're all greatly encouraged as they get closer to the marathon in both time and distance.
Here are a couple of pictures:
