14 miles!!

Yes, it's true. Michael and I both finished 14 miles last Saturday. One of the three members of my pace group couldn't be at the run, and the other member got really hot and had severe back pain so she didn't finish. I ran/walked the last six or so miles by myself. It was fine though - the assistant coach came by on his bicycle every few miles, and the coach came out to run the last quarter mile with me.

I was feeling pretty good about mile 10, but I was definitely happy to stop running when 14 miles was over. The worst part was, I accidentally made a wrong turn, and ran an extra tenth of a mile or so!

It felt really good to complete 14 miles though. Now I know that I can run the half-marathon (13.1 miles). Hopefully it won't be too hot in Virginia Beach in two weeks!!
