2019 RunBlogRun Fall Cross Country Training & Racing Program, Week 22, Day 7, the long run...

As the weather reminds us just who is boss, long runs get us closer to nature.

The weather reminds us that we can run in just about any weather, and that there is something unique in all conditions. I have done long runs at 105 degrees and a 30 miler at -20. Both had their amazing experiences.
