Total Distance

13.50

13.5 on the tready. 8 miles in 60 minutes. Then 5.5 miles in 38 minutes. Not to shabby.

I have to say. I started mentally quitting around mile 10. Thinking in my head, I'll just try to get to 12 and call it a day. Then, I smacked my mind around. I am not a quitter. I am stronger than that. So I not only made it to the planned 13. But 13.5 with more energy to have gone farther. But both of my oldest sons have basketball games this morning. I had to stop.

This run boosted my confidence a bit. I'll take it

Nice run Lilly. 13 miles on a treadmill is not easy, mentally.

Yep it was a little testing. I'm glad I got it done.

13.5 on the tready is not too shabby! Great job getting it done! Runs like this one make it so much easier to be grateful for those pleasant outside mornings.

You looked so incredibly strong the entire time Lily! So so happy for you and proud of you go staying strong. Way to go!

Scott, I can't wait for spring!

Elliptical hell, yayyer JD! Lol!

Carina I don't recommend it unless you're wussed from running in a foot of snow like me :)

Rachelle thank you! I caught a little mental fire this morning somehow. It was good!

you should have seen what happened to my hair the last time my mind caught fire. i wore a bonnet for nine weeks.

good running, lily.

A run like that should be a confidence booster - ESPECIALLY on the treadmill. Nice work!

From gdoc on Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at 23:10:40 from 98.202.193.212

Astounding mental fortitude and ability to suffer tremendous treadmillitude. Nice! Wait a minute...why am I rhyming
