7-8.5 miles tomorrow…  yikes.  I was driving back from Krispy Kreme tonight with the girls (today was National Doughnut Day, according to our favorite Krispy Kreme guy, Mr. Jeff), and was watching our van tell me how many more miles it could eke out on the last bit of its gas tank.  10 miles.  Which looked to be longer than the distance from Krispy Kreme to get back home, in terms of how the Sienna’s mileage meter was counting.  (Note that I stopped for gas before I got home, as I didn’t want to rely too heavily on that meter.)  Still a darn long distance, though one that I need to be able to run/walk by the 16th to go on a training run with the Striders and get my marathon entrance.  To make it to 10 by then, I’m supposed to run 7-8.5 tomorrow.  I did 6 last weekend: very slowly, iterating on running N minutes, walking 1 minute.  Starting to fathom just how much long a 5 hour marathon is…..
