10 miles uhg!

OK,
I am on track for the half marathon and I must say, this Saturdays long run almost killed me! I ran 10 miles. I ran for 2 hours. Who knew you could actually run for two hours. I was running at one point during mile nine and I stopped running and walked a few steps without thinking. The last mile was up a gradual hill with lots of curves in the road. I am going to have to figure out some way to get a drink along the way, because my tongue was pasty I was so thirsty! My knees hurt a little to get up and down and go up and down stairs today, but other than that I am feeling good. And, thin :) I found a scale in the basement yesterday and it is a little broken so I am not sure how accurate it is, but it said I lost 20 pounds so I am going with it :)What a good little scale!

Last week

Well,
Last week I ran on Monday. Then Tuesday I pushed a huge executive desk up the stairs and killed my back. On Wednesday I tried to run-couldn't so I walked and I could only walk 1.5 mi. Yuck! stomache sunk!! then I rested Iced and used a heating pad. On Thursday I tried to do Jilean Micheals work out. Try being the key word. I mad it through the warm out and half of the first cycle. I am impressed at the stamina it requires to do that kind of a workout. Friday I rested and Saturday I ran. 7 Miles. Now I slept in yesterday and today. Hopefully I will get a run in tonight.
