What a day to end a really tough week. I spent most the week trying to recover from the previous week and dealing with work issues. No fun. My last 20 miler too weeks ago went really well and I was expecting this week to be the same. No such luck. I felt miserable the first couple of miles and wanted to throw in the towel, but pushed through and started to feel better. We ran up Hidden Road and I finally got to find out what everyone was talking about.....It was tough but not as bad as I had imagined and even though I wanted to walk, I pushed through. We ran out about another mile and then ran back. By mile 14, it was just Ashley, Wendy and I and my attitude was terrible and we all wanted to be done. By mile 16 I was ready to quit but they were very kind and encouraged me to finish....it was UGLY!. 2:54:00 for 20 miles but with all our stops, it was much longer....We got it done. |
