What a day to end a really tough week.   I spent most the week trying to recover from the previous week and dealing with work issues.   No fun.    My last 20 miler too weeks ago went really well and I was expecting this week to be the same.  No such luck.   I felt miserable the first couple of miles and wanted to throw in the towel, but pushed through and started to feel better.  We ran up Hidden Road and I finally got to find out what everyone was talking about.....It was tough but not as bad as I had imagined and even though I wanted to walk, I pushed through.   We ran out about another mile and then ran back.   By mile 14, it was just Ashley, Wendy and I and my attitude was terrible and we all wanted to be done.   By mile 16 I was ready to quit but they were very kind and encouraged me to finish....it was UGLY!.   2:54:00 for 20 miles but with all our stops, it was much longer....We got it done.

NICELY DONE! Sometimes it is just logging the miles, does not matter how juts that it gets done, right? ;o)

Thanks Kelli - it was rough. I have struggled so much with running since I have moved....Too many highs and lows.

I really just need to forget times and just focus on enjoying running.

I totally agree, I need to get back to running for fun. The constant pushing for times it too much!!!
