I can't believe I forgot to brag!
Looking back over my recent posts, I've realized I completely omitted any mention of a major milestone I passed last week - namely, the eight mile milestone! (okay, so I didn't "pass" it, but I got there!) Last Saturday I officially logged the longest "long" run of my life so far, and okay, it took me almost an hour and a half to do it, but hey, now I can say, "I ran for an hour and a half", which also sounds pretty awesome. I even managed it without music, because at that point my mp3 player was dead and I was still awaiting nano's arrival; luckily for me, I ran into my sometime "running buddy" at the gym that day, and he did a few laps with me every so often to keep me company.
I can't believe I didn't crow about this yet! Well, yes, I can believe it, because Saturday immediately after the run was the dreaded breakup, shortly followed by myself becoming severely intoxicated, dancing like a maniac all night, and not blogging for a week (don't I deal well with my feelings?!) So my moment of triumph slipped totally under the radar. But here it is, resurrected and recounted in all of its glory.
Going to attempt it again this week!

You will be clicking double-digits before you even know that! Trust me, first 2 hrs are the most mentally tough, then it's all downhill:)

I give you kudos everytime I read that you ran for more than 20 min on a track...I have a touch of self-diagnosed ADD and can't do anything that is repetitive...so Congrats on the 8 miles and bigger congrats that you ran that many laps!
