Half way there

New Record. 13 Miles!!!!!! I was happy to accomplish it, but discouraged how I felt. I couldn't go another mile, let alone another 13. My feet really hurt the last 2 miles.
Kudos to my sister KK who ran 5.5 without stopping. On her way to her first 10k.

I am going to go take some pain pills and try to be productive the rest of the day.

Longest run so far in my lifetime

This morning I capped off my week with a 10.2 mile run. I had intentions of trying for 9 but, decided to keep going. I ran it in 1 hour and 47 minutes. 10:30/mile average. I stopped at 4.7 miles to get a drink and stretch and at mile 8.5 to do the same. I felt pretty good through 8 miles then my legs started to fatigue and my feet started to hurt. I was able to grind out the last 2 miles though. Still wondering how I will ever accomplish 26.2. 10 miles was my longest run (did it last year), so today at 10.2 is my official longest.

Monday I ran 3, Wednesday 5, and then Thursday I ran with KaeLynn in Orem and went 4.4. So I finished the week with 22.6. Longest week so far. Adding up all my miles this week, I'm still 3.6 miles short of a Marathon. That's a sickening thought.

Springfest

Had a great weekend in Moses Lake (minus the pictures). Kids had a great time at the aquatic center, playing with Kevicans Turtle, The Coats concert, dollar store, and just hanging out. A big thank you to Craig and Deb for the good time.

Saturday morning Wendy & I ran the 10K. There were over 700 running either the 5K or 10K. I ran a personal best of 54:31. Wendy also ran a personal best of 1:03:53. I got second place in the Clydesdale division (fat guys).

We also celebrated Ky's 18th Birthday there. Squeesher came down from Spokane to spend some time with her. Watched the parade that night.

Good time was had by all. We got home about 8:00 pm Monday. Played in golf scramble in Burley with Kerry and won closest to the pin.
