I have completed my 20 mile run! The rain did not come like it was predicted and I was out there running at 6:30am (just in case). It was a peaceful, but humid morning. I saw three deer eating grass and a few dogs. I ran down one hill and then back up it and this man was walking his dog and as I got closer to him he said, "Well I am impressed. I have seen many people run down that hill, but never seen anyone run back up it. Way to go."
Glenn was still not feeling 100% so he rode behind me in the truck for the first 10miles and then got on his bike for the last 3 miles. He does such a great job of encouraging me and I REALLY needed him on those last miles! Thank you sweetie, you are the best.
When I was done I knew I did not eat enough pre-run and there was nothing left in my tank. I needed to eat right away. My left pinkie toe has a very large blister on the bottom of it and my right shin is very sore, but nothing different from any of the other runs that I have completed. I feel mentally and physically ready for this!
Later that day I treated myself to a Baskin Robins 2 scoop hot fudge sundae! We had some friends over on Sat night and I relaxed all day Sunday. I am looking forward to seeing Peggy (massage) tomorrow night.
This weekend I have a 10mile run and I am looking forward to the cooler air and hopefully a faster finish.

I don't tell you very often how proud I am of what you are doing. You are really so much better at setting your mind to things than I am. I don't think I could ever do what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a strong and powerful lady. I am priviledged to call you my friend. I hope that I will take a small bit of what I see in you and apply it to myself.
I love you guys!!!!!!
