Old Croton Aqueduct Trail
Long distance training for Cocodona. It was perfect weather for a long run. The trail was so pretty and yellow carpet everywhere. Carried 1.5L of high carb Skratch, 1 water bottle, and 6 gels. But I needed more calories to push. I had a mental breakdown in the middle of the course that I really wanted to go back to my apartment which is just at 34.5 mile. Because I calculated distance wrong from mileage to kilometers. I always use metric and somehow I thought I had to run 77km (47.8 mi). Seriously thought I couldn’t make it. And only negative thoughts came up. Well, it always happens to me, though. I know my weaknesses as well. When I got to Manhattan, crossing the high bridge where I used to live, I realized that I was wrong and it’s not too far to finish. I do the math (16x4)+ 3 so many times 🤣🤣🤣  Also, it was my familiar territory. I was just thinking about finishing my run and had laser focus. On 5th Ave, it was impossible to run on the sidewalk. I run with buses and bike taxis. In Bryant Park, there were too many people and Holiday Market was built. But I managed to find a way to finish in the end. I usually run with someone. Mostly my husband. I realized that running alone is never easy and appreciate him although he always annoys me 🤣🤣🤣
Plus, for Cocodona, I shouldn’t run fast like this run. But what is the border to run 250 miles and to push?? That’s I have to figure it out by the race day.
