26 miles and counting…

as of last night, i have run a full marathon!!… over the span of 17 days :) but i did it! eeek sometimes i just can’t even imagine that day and how i am going to get through it… i know with all this training i will be able to… but still cramming 10 actual days of running (7 of the 17 days were “rest days”) into one is kind of scary. each week i look forward to the longer runs now – its like a new goal and a new push each week and if i can do more than i did last week then i feel awesome – like i accomplished something great.

a fun tool for any other runners out there. a long time ago my friend sent me this cool website, and its just gotten better and better. its called map my run and you can go on there and map how far your runs are by typing in an address and using points to plot your route. another cool thing i found on it last week is you can find a run. you type in your location and then it pulls up all these runs that other people have stored for different locations. it tells the distance and other info so you can go run it too. i thought that was pretty cool since we are looking for some new places around us to run so it doesnt become boring and monotonous. so check it out!
and a couple pics… kylie and emma like to run too :) one of these days i will get my camera out on a saturday run and get some pics taken to liven up this blog!
