Too many words, yet I'm speechless.
I've been sitting here trying to formulate words to describe the 23 mile run. I can't seem to do it. Here are my random thoughts from Saturday's run.
Miles 1 – 10
23 miles. I can do this…
Is that a twinge in my calf? Nope. OK, good, just checking.
I’m so glad I took those 7 days off.
I need some food. GU is just not cutting it today.
Drink some salt and Gatorade. Mmmmmm…
Can we go any slower? I could walk this fast. (Dannie tried it and yes, she can walk that fast).
Mile 11 – 15
We’ve got to pick up the pace or we’re going to be running until tomorrow.
Does this trail ever end?
We’re in Maryland. Maryland!
So glad my team members have gossip.
It’s 30 degrees and I’m hot. How am I going to run in Miami?
Beaches? Who needs beaches?
Where is the darn water stop? I need some food!
Seriously, we’ve got to go a little faster.
Miles 15 – 23
Yay, we’re running. (Four of us decided to pick up the pace).
Buffalo burger. Ted’s Montana Grill. Buffalo burger.
I’m so hungry. Does anyone have food? The monster is coming out.
Thank you Kristina, thank you. Luna Bar.
I think I might need some Tylenol after this.
Holy cow! We’re going to run 23 miles!!!!
Finish
Wow…23 miles. I ran to Bethesda. Are you kidding me?
I’m so impressed with the human body.
Oh, nice, Phil is there to cheer us in!! (Group member who is injured).
Oh, really nice. AIDS Marathon Training medals.
FOOD!!!!!!
And, there it is. 23 miles finished. Nothing can describe it. I am soooo pumped for the marathon!
