I did it! I made my first 10 miler... and I'm still breathing. Oh it wasn't a pretty run; and it certainly wasn't very fast, but it is done! Yeah, me! I so wanted to give up along the way. I think everything I have was hurting by the time I got to mile 7. I was looking for short cuts, but encouraged myself to stay on the charted course for the entore distance. But I did have tons of crazy thoughts along the way... Whose idea was this? Are you trying to prove something? I don't think I'm built for long distance running ugh! my feet hurt all the way up to my head when I get to Boyd street, i could cut straight up and be home faster... there goes the hip i wonder if i can bathe in ibuprofen how does your thumb hurt when you're running And the list went on and on... But then I got just past mile 7. Well, I just did 8 miles last week so I knew I could get that far. When I plotted my route to make sure it was indeed 10 miles I noted several distance spots....
