Digg! this story.
Well, the blisters on my feet and the little aches I’m feeling prove that today was a lot of work. I completed my 8 mile stumble today…which is a little less than 2/3 of the 1/2 marathon I’ll be stumbling in 6 weeks, but almost 2 miles more than the 10K that is in 2 weeks.
My pace is still slow - I haven’t recovered completely from my back injury and even though my husband tried to work out some of the bad tension in my back, I can tell tonight will be a Tylenol with Codeine night as a migrane is blossoming across my head from the back.
But on a more positive note, I finished 8 miles, and as my husband pointed out, when is the last time I went 8 miles on foot with a time limit.
I already got the “OK” from said husband to carve 3 hours out of our 10th anniversary weekend (next weekend) to go for 10 miles, so I’ll be doing my workouts and such accordingly this weekend. Now, after burning all of those calories, I go to work on developing some cupcake recipes…

I have recently decided to begin training for a half marathon in Jan 09. It sounds like you are tired but commited. Keep up the pace…I hope to someday reach the milestones that you have accomplished.
