I made 14 okay, but the last 2 miles was painful, literally and figuratively. I didn't want to finish. I could have turned and headed back right about where 14 miles would have been. But I *knew* I needed that number. I needed that 16 miles. So, I walked the last 1.5 miles - give or take a few little running jaunts. I'm right there with you. We'll have to sync up our training and figure out if we do any 20 milers on the same weekends. I'm gonna need to see your face in my head with that "shut up and run" bondi. Mmm. Maybe I need one of my own.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304497617228725441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970773502733137179.post-7493557185066674782010-10-11T11:06:26.187-04:002010-10-11T11:06:26.187-04:0016 miles.
