20 miles!!

Well it is officially done! When I started my run it was 52 degrees, and throughout the course of the run the temperature rose 20 degrees! I think that was probably the hardest part of the run because extra mileage didn't feel great but neither did the sun! It took me a while to get going on my run, but I tried to be okay with it knowing that I had a long way to go! It was a little depressing knowing that I would still have 6.2 miles to go after I finished, but hopefully adrenaline will take care of it In my head though, I keep saying that's a long distance for adrenaline... :)

When getting my "food" for the run, the man there said that the last 0.2 of the run is to Iwo Jima which sounds pretty cool, but it is uphill. I guess we need to keep a little gas in us to make it up at the end. He said the road has people cheering 5 or 6 people deep, and that it's pretty surreal. I'm hoping that feeling is still in me at the end!

Ali - I know you were doing yours during the Chicago marathon today with a friend...how was it?

Shay - did you get yours in today without rain?

Henk - saw your brother's comment, hope it was great!

Megs - hope you enjoyed the Bach. party last night

Oh yea...no more "long" runs until the big day!!! Cheers to shorter workouts and refreshed bodies in the next few weeks!
