Whew! There's my longest run ever; it's not very pretty, but it's all mine! Now I begin my taper for next Saturday's mini. I'll do 8 on Monday and 4 on Wednesday, then it's two days of rest.I have a lot of confidence now that I will make the distance barring any injury. I wanted to quit (walk) on this run, but I just kept going. "Only another 4 miles....only another 4 miles..." When I hit the 10 mile mark, I knew I had two more miles in me.
When I hit the 11 mile mark, the wind decided to blow the hardest that I'd felt during the run...and it was a headwind...of course. Oh well, the finish line was in sight; one more mile. "Come'on! You can make it!" And I did! Yay on me.
