Completed 20 miles. I should say, completed 10, crawled through 10. My foot was doing fine for a while, and then all of a sudden during the 20 miler, after having run/walked the first 10 miles in just over 2 hrs, my hips tightened up and my foot started aching. I stopped to use the facilities at the park we started at after the 10, and we had to do the same loop all over again. I stretched for a second, went back out, ran through 3 run/walk intervals, and then decided I just couldn't run anymore. I tried, but the pain was too much. So, the last 10 miles were all walking, and the last 5 of the 10 were probably less than a brisk walk pace, but I made it through all 20. I even have a purple TNT ribbon to say so! ;)
Today I can walk, but it hurts. I will probably try and do my 4 miles..see how it feels. I don't want to kill myself though, so if I have to take today as a rest day I will. I've decided I don't want to do another marathon anytime soon. I was waffling between Disney and Las Vegas half marathons, but since the rest of the clan wants to go to Disney, I decided on that one. So I'm registered for the half marathon and I figure I can take about a month off, and start training mid-July to actually run the whole thing. When I can run a good distance at a decent pace then I'll look into doing a marathon again..probably in a couple years. Until then, I really like the feel of a half.
Will post again after I get back from SD. Less than 20 days!
