Managed to get quite a few hills in on my final long run, including the amphitheater loop. The idea is for Mississauga to feel like a piece of cake after what I've been doing in training. I ran the first 13.1 in less than two hours, then slowed down quite a bit in the final nine miles, but even for that I was well under 10:00 average pace. I hit 22 at 3:24:19 then walked two-tenths to cool down, and still got in under 3:30. I'm sore but not horribly so. Chocolate milk, ice bath, then probably a late breakfast and a nap, I'm ready for some tapering after this one.
