Whey! That was a LONG one!!!!

Well, I am in Mobile for the long weekend, and I did my long run this morning at 5:40. I ran 12.3 miles--I couldn't believe it! I had to clock it in the car afterwards, as I don't have a "route" here. I am so encouraged by my training. I always get anxious right before the long run because I tend to have a mental block a couple of days before. Then, I prove to myself that I can do anything I put my mind to! The first 2 miles are always the hardest--then, I enter "the Zone!" I start to really notice the fragrances and brilliant colors of the beautiful flowers, the beautiful architecture of homes, and before I realize it, my run is almost over! It is wonderful! I can't believe that I waited so long to experience this! I am ready (although still nervous) for the Goat Milk! I here the shirts are forest green and really cool! I will bump up my weekly runs to a full hour, since I have only being doing 45 minutes. I am a marathoner!!!!!
