11 miles ... whaaaaa??

Today was our two hour run. I got up at 530 so I could go pickup the Derby Doll and head down to Coronado. I couldn't make up any excuses today about it being rainy. Today is freaking GORGEOUS! I had to pickup the Derby Doll so I couldn't leave her hanging. I dragged my butt out of bed, and I am so glad that I did. I was kind of freaked out about running for two hours. But really ... it was only 15 more minutes than we did last Saturday and without the hills. We did 9.5 miles last weekend, I was curious to see how far we'd make it this week.

Two hours. Eleven miles. Non-stop. Except for water.

Whaaaaa???

I can't believe it. I say this every week that I can't believe I ran that far. And its true. Each week is my personal best. I remember freaking out when we did five miles. And my 15k? 6.2 miles? Hmmph! That's nothing! But it is. Really. Freaking. Amazing. My running buddy Shell pointed out we're now only two miles away from a HALF MARATHON! Half way there!!! I have to print out and actually look at my March training schedule now since tomorrow is March. I've been avoiding it. I haven't wanted to scare myself. But ... made it through February and I'm not dead yet! Currently icing my shins to keep my shin splints from getting tooo crazy, but not dead.

The icing is helping lots though. I don't waddle around like an old man too much anymore. Except if I have too many of my bloody marys.

That's one of my perks. The light at the end of my crazy early morning runs. And my home made breakfast burrito. And the nap I'm going to take shortly.
