I did 20 miles last night. It took me 4.5 hours. I left at 8pm and got home at 12:30. I am grateful to Missy for goading me, and maybe the reason I went 20 is because I didn't really have time to get all psyched out about it. I just downloaded some new music and went. I felt really good for the first 10 and then got increasingly worn. I walked the last 3 at a decent pace and was just really feeling wiped. I think I'd do better if I'd had more gel packs, as I only took one at 9 miles. Anyway, I'm glad I did it and I won't be doing it again!! It just really sucks to run that long. I don't know why people want to do that.
I feel very blessed to have my wonderful and divine sistas on this journey with me. You guys have kept me going when I so badly wanted to give up. Thank you for helping me accomplish this dream.

I'm so proud of you for going all that way. You are going to feel great when you accomplish this goal. I think its amazing you can go 20. I really can't imagine it.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask you if you get nervous before the race. I'll bring Xanax for the night before and you bring immodium or whatever it's called. OK?
I do get nervous but make sure I get awesome sleep the whole week so that if I don't sleep well the night before it doesn't impact me. I wouldn't take anything the night before as I wouldn't want anything like that in my system the next morning but its up to you. And I will be packin the immodium.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make sure you get awesome sleep??
