I AM FREAKING AMAZING!

Yeah I said it, cause I feel it! I did something today I never thought I would be able to do, or want to do. And I did it with ease!


Today was my long run. My schedule called for a 9.5 mile run. I fully intended on sticking to that plan. BUT, I ended up running a loop that added a bit more distance. I could have stopped and walked the rest of the way, but why when I can run!!! So, I ended up running, without stopping, for 10.19 miles!!!

I felt really good the entire time. I held a good pace too and that surprised me a bit. My feet a bit sore, but I think thats just part of the deal.

Funny story from the run. At about mile 2, there were some utility workers fixing some power lines. I said 'Hi' as I ran by. Well when I came back about an hour later, the same guy was out there and he says "I sure hope you stopped off for coffee since I saw you" I said, "no, but that would have been nice". He said "do you realize how long you've been gone??? Thats crazy!" I had a nice laugh. :-)

Almost 7 hours later and I can still walk, so I guess I am good!
Yes, that is a smile on my face after that run!

Workout Stats:
10.19 miles! 1:35:07 time, 9.20 min mile
40*, no rain or wind (how is that possible?)
Felt really good. NO ISSUES! (how is that possible too?)

And now to enjoy my weekend. I am planning on finishing my Christmas shopping, wrapping, working on We Love to Read calendars, possibly going to see Wild, reading, spending time with my honey, Moose's last basketball game.

TGIF
