Well on Saturday, I reached another milestone in my training... the not-so-sweet 16 mile mark.
I can honestly say that I think that this past weekends training session was and may actually be the toughest that I will go through -- simply because of the fact that it was POURING (not drizzling, not kinda raining, but POURING. As in steady hard downfall of rain). I remember looking at Colleen at about the 13 mile mark and saying "This is just awesome. Freaking awesome." (please note the sarcasm)
BUT, all the while, as I finished the run, I thought, at least we are doing this for a cause. Because even though we are going through this temporary period of pain, we are not just doing it for ourselves, we are doing it for others. We are doing it to make a difference in other people's lives and there are people who suffer from Leukemia and Lymphoma that are going through something a lot more painful and difficult and we are doing this for them.
This weekend we are pushing it up to 18 miles... and I will probably be exhausted after it, but I will be okay and I will push through it because I can do it.
:)
happy running!
