Training, confirmation, and weather

John and I went to Waco this weekend, so I did my long run Saturday morning instead of Sunday. My friend Allison was kind enough to wake up at 6:30 on Saturday to be support for me. She met me at the 7 and 9 mile points. Unfortunately I was pretty much done at the 9 mile point. I forgot to grab my ankle brace before leaving the house (in reality I have no idea where it is, and had to buy a new one on Saturday), but thought I would be okay because the route is relatively flat. Turns out I was wrong, and the brace is helping a lot more than I thought. I'm sure I could have finished out the 12 miles, but I'm trying to be smart about possible injuries.
Hopefully everything will be back to normal for Sunday's 20 mile run. The temperatures are supposed to stop dropping a bit, so cooler temperatures may mean an easier run.

There's only six weeks left until D.C.! I got my confirmation card emailed to me yesterday. Basically it's a form I have to print out and take with me to the race to get my race number and assorted goodies!

I looked online today to see historical temperatures for that weekend. The average high is 68, low 40. I'm either going to freeze or finish in a great time trying to finish quickly and get some warm clothes on! :)
