Great run

Last night I did my 4 mile conditioning run, and it was the best run of my life, the weather was beautiful and I had nothing but energy, I started out running and other than at a stop-light I didnt' stop running till I got home, it was so invigorating.

18 miler

2 days ago I ran my long run 18 miles with my sister Mandy. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful run to start with, the first 12 miles were a joy we talked a little but mostly listened to our music and ran, (we talked on our walk breaks). We stopped for a potty break then headed out on our last six miles. it was harder than the first part but we had each other to boost us up. Mandy was doing 16 miles so we geared up and ran up a hill then she was done. It was invigorating to be able to make it up the hill running the whole way. then I was on my own for the last 2 miles. I did ok. Mostly I can say that when your body wants to shut down your will and heart have to take over and that is a neat experience, you will probably hear more of that from me, but that has been the neatest part of this whole training experience. It is amazing what your body is capable of if you believe you can do it and push yourself. I ran the best I could till the end and I tried to push it across that 18 mile mark and I have to say that I am darn proud of myself.
