My friend
Connie and I are running the Nashville Half Marathon on April 30th - well, actually SHE is running it - I will probably need to be wheelchaired across the finish. ha! Anyway, she drove over this morning and we decided to go for 10 miles today.... I only used my GPS for my actual running time - so I turned it off when I needed to stop and walk... which I did often after 4.5 mi... She did 10 miles (woohoo!) - I did about 9.5miles total distance but actual running was 8.5 miles... I must admit -
It's the longest I've ever run in my life. Up to this point, the max I've run was 6.3 miles! I wanted to quit so many times - but thankfully Connie was w/ me and didn't let me quit. Every muscle in my body hurt so bad! My legs - especially. Yesterday Connie and I went to Academy and bought a "hydration belt" which holds water bottles, and I got a knee brace - which did seem to help! When I got home, I took everything off that I had been wearing and sort of laughed to myself... That's a lot of stuff! I think I'll be recovering from this run for several days!

You did AMAZING and I'm so proud of us for evern considering doing a half marathon! Remember less then 1% of the population can say they have done a half marathon...so in less than 2 weeks we will be apart of that 1%! It doesn't matter if we run the whole thing or not..it's crossing the finish line that counts! And you should not be so hard on yourself...you ran more yesterday than you ever have in your life! Each step is a milestone right now remember! Love ya!
