It's done. . .20 miles done! I am in major pain, but I am sure my pain pales in comparison to the pain my dad and Marilyn went through in their fight against cancer. These are the things I try to focus on when my body is screaming at me to STOP running!
I took my FIRST ice bath- - -that's how bad the pain was. I am not sure it helped, but I was numb for the time I was in the bath.
Now it is time to rest. Three weeks until race day and the runs are short- - -9 miles being the longest. I am excited to rest these next 3 weeks, but a little nervous that my confidence to run a LONG run will be shattered.
Jeff did great tonight- - -he completed 19 miles and wasn't too far behind me. He quit last week at 10 miles so I was proud of him to make it 19 tonight. Remember, HE HATES RUNNING!

The wonderful ice bath... crazy fun.
You go girl! Congrats on 20 miles! It is a HUGE accomplishment and you should be so proud of yourself. What you are doing is amazing. Will be thinking about you in a few weeks during the Chicago Marathon! God speed and good luck!
