12 Miles
Smiling, but tired after running 12 miles.

Today I ran 12 miles! Wahoo! Once again, the farthest I have ever run in my life. And no one was chasing me either. I did it just because.
I was scheduled to do a 10 mile training run for the Eugene half-marathon at the end of the month. I thought maybe I would go 11 miles since I did 10 last week. At the cut-off for 11 miles I felt good so I decided what the heck, go for it, and went for 12. I have to admit, my legs were tired on the last mile but I’m thrilled I did it.
I proved I will be able to run the entire half-marathon. I still cannot believe I’ve become a runner. I’m not sure when it happened. Up until a month ago I was planning on doing run/walk intervals for this half-marathon. I think I’m going to have to reread my blog posts to find out when I became a “runner”.
My time today was slow but that is okay with me. 12 miles in 2 hours, 49 minutes. I averaged 14 minute miles.
