First Time for Everything

Yesterday I logged my longest run ever - 14 miles. That's a huge accomplishment, especially considering that I did it on a treadmill!!! It was both a physical and mental challenge, because both my mind and body were ready to quit after about 9 miles. It was probably my hardest overall run to date, which was a little disappointing, but I did it - I went 14 miles! I can't wait to start running outside again...

I was hurting pretty bad after the run, so I took my first ever ice bath. Can you say shrinkage? I felt quite a bit better after literally freezing my balls off, but today I don't think it really made a difference, since my entire lower body has made me feel miserable all day long.

Yesterday's run was my 3rd in 7 days for a total of 29 miles! It's really amazing that I'm able to do 14 miles on a treadmill, but it's still a little overwhelming to think that I'm still 12 miles short of a marathon...

I also noticed that I have 484 miles on this pair of shoes, so it's time to pick up a new pair before I start running outside.
