Whew!

Can you believe it? I almost cannot.... 20 miles ( I was a little shy of 20)! We kicked A** . I got home, drank some Endurox and took a cold bath. I honestly could not believe that I could walk the rest of the day. My legs did not hurt until I woke up this morning. I actually thought I would be hurting worse due to how badly I felt those last 5 or 6 miles. My knee was killing me (ITB issues again & a popping out of place problem). I almost quit but due to the support out there I decided to keep going even if I walked. Even that hurt!
22 here we come and then 26.2. :)
Oh, to those that I told I was going to work in the garden when I got home! Tom gave me a reprieve. He had my bath fixed for me and fixed me breakfast! Not sure what I did to deserve that. We hung out all day, went to the grocery and watched a movie at home. I did have to buy him a beer later that evening though.
Well to next Saturdays 10 miles. Easy run!

And you didn't even have to cry to get all that great treatment! You did great out there, Micah!

Hope the knee feels better soon. The stretches during the week for the IT thing are really helpful.

What a great husband! That's an awesome treat after 20 miles.

I'm glad you were able to finish. I kind of zoned out (tried to focus on something other than the PAIN!) and turned around and you were gone. I'm sorry I didn't realize that.... But, it was good to see you finishing! Way to go!!!!!!

Hope your knee is better. I know how bad that feels, unfortunately.

Way to go on finishing 20 and still even being able to consider working in the yard! And, what a nice hubby you have.
