12-12-12   Ran 12 miles! Denny Thorne, Run13 race director asked on Facebook last night if anybody was doing anything whacky for 12-12-12  .So I decided I would run 12 miles today.

This was hard and hurt the last 3-4 more miles BAD. I did a ladder speed workout from miles 3.5-7.5  3-3-2-2-2-1-1-1  Legs were hammered and somehow I carried on and ran until I hit the 12 mile cut off. My legs were like spaghetti the last 3 miles so those were 7:53 pace. Overall run time was 1:23

Great idea! Way to nail a great workout on a very cool day.

Love it! Nice job Lily. Now maybe I'll get wacky and do 12 pushups to celebrate 12/12/12. :-)

Sounds like fun. I think I'll drink 12 Diet Cokes today to celebrate.

Thanks all. Scott you didn't learn a thang from that ulcer did you?

Ken how are you? Haven't seen you around the blog for a bit ;)

I'm good Lily, thanks for asking =)

Yeah, I have been absent. I've been taking care of puppies, which takes a surprising amount of time - I feel like I'm getting the hang of it though. During these last few weeks I've just had to scale my efforts back and I focused on the imbalance in my right leg/hip, which I think I've finally corrected.

I'm glad that your feet are feeling happy and healthy!
