I met up with Cheris, Peggy, Michelle, Angela, Dean, Chris and Whitney for our 20 mile run. This one felt tougher than the one two weeks ago. We did pretty much the same route with a little variation. Angela was great to listen to and dispense her wisdom on eating healthy and healthy lifestyles in general. My body held up better this week and that is always a good thing. We ended up with a few walking breaks and I gave in to one at the end with Peggy and Angela that I am a little disappointed in myself for when they were still going. I never stopped my watch so my pace includes a bathroom break, walking for gu's and a couple other 30 sec walks, I would think if we took the breaks out it would be more near 8:45 but we ended with 9:15. The count down to marathon day is on!

Happy Running!

Your run today should have felt a little tougher since you just came off of a race. It takes time to recover from those. Great job and pace out there today. I am so glad you are not having to do those long runs by yourself!

Great job JODY!!! Your pace with the breaks was ours without--so you at least kicked our behinds! You are an awesome runner, you amaze me.

We were with you guys in spirit.

Great job on getting those 20 miles in. I think anything over 13 takes more determination.

Is it bad to stop during a long run?There is no way I won't stop to use the bathroom or drink for a second, at least a couple of times! I just figure if you're able to muscle through on race day, then bonus! Awesome second 20 miler already! I feel so behind! But I'm still working on it :)
