Last long test run

After the heavy rain yesterday I was lucky to have great weather today in the morning. I planned to have my last "long" distance run test for the next Sunday Marathon in Mainz. I met Robbie, Axel, Udo, Charlotte, and Frank (fellows from our local running club "ASC Licher Wald") and we just started to run using bikeways and avoiding the forests as it was pretty dirty and muddy. After one hour my fellows except Robbie left me and returned (they had their long distance run already on Saturday). Robbie and myself just added one more hour to run, I felt really good, no problems at all, I could have run for one more hour but had to leave for home as my wife and children were waiting for lunch...
In the end, we covered around 26k / 16mls in 2:14h. Not to bad but I am not too confident for the marathon next Sunday, actually, I had only three runs where I covered between 25k and 28k during the last 5 weeks. That's not too much. Usually, it shouldn't be a problem to get to the finish line but clocking a time less than 3:00h could be painful...
