I Ran Today!!

About a little over a month ago Min asked how my running was going. I beat around the bush a little but she realized it was pretty much non-existant. She then asked me if I would join her in running 30 more miles to represent the 30 Jer had left to complete 1000 miles. Thanks Min for doing this, I know you were probably afraid that I would stop running altogether and was giving me something to run for. Well being the pro-procrastinator that I am, I had reached 15 miles as of last night since Min had asked me to do the 30. I went to bed accepting defeat and not feeling to happy with myself. This morning I woke up and decided to do my routine 5 miler to at least get a little closer to that 30 mile goal. So I ran, I ran, and I ran. That 5 miler turned into 14.3 miles. When I reached my turn around point for my 5 miler I decided to give it my all and finish the 15. Because I hadn't previously mapped a 15 mile route I had no idea how far I had ran until I got home. I had a ball park idea since 8 Logan blocks are roughly a mile. So when I realized I had .7 miles left I decided I would finish with a 1 miler tonight on the treadmill. I did it!! I didn't beat any personal speed records but this is the farthest I have ever gone. Hope everyone is having a fun time with their training. Never get discouraged just keep running. I hope to hear more about everyones running experiences soon. Stay strong!
