I wonder if 10 miles will ever feel like something other than torture.  ; )  I have to think that it would since, a year ago, I asked the same thing about running ONE mile.  haha.  How perspectives change.  

Although it was still long, it was  much better than my first attempt at 10 miles a few weeks ago.  And I was all by myself today, rather than running with a partner; so I feel especially good about keeping focused.  Until the last 2 miles, all my splits were sub 11:00.  I stretched out for quite a while when I got home, but my hips are still a little sore.  I think I need to see the chiropractor again - my back and pelvis have been really bugging me.  Maybe I'll even splurge and get a massage as part of my pre-half preparation.  Sounds good to me!!!  ; )

I make sure to include back exercises in all my post-exercise stretching routines. But then I'm sure you've heard my plug for back exercises before :P

Anyway, anyone crazy enough to run 10 miles definitely deserves a massage :P Good Luck.
