Today I ran 4 miles to save up a little energy for the 23 I'm going to pound out tomorrow. I didn't calculate my weekends right and didn't realize until yesterday my last long run is tomorrow.  I hope my knees can take it. I haven’t felt ‘recovered’ from Moab.  But I’ve gotta getter done.  Catherine will accompany me on the last 18 and I’m going to finish heading up the canyon, up past Vivian so we can get a good incline on those last miles in preparation for the ‘heartbreak hills’.

Help me finish this sentence….I feel like a 'real runner' when:

(example:  a 4 mile jog doesn't qualify in your mind as 'running').

I feel like a real runner when someone says they just ran three miles and I say, "how CUTE!!"
