I ran 18 friggin miles today.
Not 4.
Or even 12.
Freaking 18!!
I did three 6 mile laps around where we live.
The first lap I was all smiles, feeling almost cocky that I was doing well.
Second lap was pretty good.
Felt like I had it all in the bag.
Then the monster reared it's ugly head on lap three.
Holy crap.
There was a time when my legs were so sore and starting to cramp
that I started to bawl like a baby.
You know those crys where your face looks ugly and deformed
because you can't control this outpour of emotion.
The funny part is I had no water left in me because I seemed to have sweat it all out
and it was now salt on my skin that no tears came.
So here I am some freak hobbly running down the road with the ugly distorted crying face.
It was awesome.
But I did it.
I bit the ugly monster in the butt and finished those 18 miles.
The Sunday nap tomorrow sure sounds even more sweet than it usually is.

Go you! Seriously, that's amazing!
You're crazy. and cool. I could never do that. But I want to.
You're a freakin rockstar!
After I ran my half marathon a few weeks ago I vowed to never run a marathon. It's only because I don't think I could ever run for five straight hours! 13s my max. You are amazing. I can't wait for you to cross the finish line.
Holy crapoli - didn't anyone tell you that you're not supposed to do this kind of thing on purpose?
How are your legs feeling today? Can you walk?
When I grow up I want to be just like you! XOXO
Are you training or did you just feel like it? That's nuts
You are amazing and inspire me! :)
