The Ten Miler!

Date: 21 September 2008 / Distance: 10.01 mi / Time: 1:30:38

Joel and I ran the 10 miler yesterday morning.  It was a great day for a run because the temperature was in the mid-to-high 60s, the sun was blocked by clouds and the air was much less humid.  Strangely enough, I'm not sore from the run, even a day later.  I did have a nasty headache though.  I had one minor snag during the run -- I had to use the restroom at mile 2.  I ran by a disgusting port-o-potty and seriously considered using it but I had to pass because the toilet paper was missing.  Luckily, my condo was along my running route so at mile 3.84 I peeled off for a couple minutes, took a quick swig of gatorade, and continued on my run.  There were A LOT of runners out yesterday.  It must be marathon training season.  After completing the 10 miler in one-piece, Joel and I are both pretty confident we'll be able to finish the 1/2 marathon.  Hurray!  Next week, we have a 12 miler.  Phew!
