Running

So... I made a resolution several months ago to run a 10K and I did. I ran the Butte to Butte on July 4. And I'm still running - with many thanks to my friend Annie, who is keeping me motivated. Today, I conquered a mileage marker I never thought I would EVER hit. Today, I ran nearly 11 miles. And I have a new goal: a half marathon on September 20. Going into this morning's run, I thought I was only going to run 8 miles and I was thinking there was no way I would ever be able to run a half marathon (13.6 miles), but it didn't work out for me to have an 8 mile route, so I ended up going about 10.7. I am feeling totally inspired after today's run - like I can do ANYTHING. I admit, the last 1.5 miles were miserably hard and there was no way I could have run another 2.5 miles, but I still have a month to get there. I'm feeling pretty awesome (aside from the lingering pain in my ankles and knees). Hooray.
