Just you wait...keep going and you will double it! Then you'll look back and think, "wow, 8.3...that wasn't so hard!" I love how relative the milestones keep getting.
How are you feeling tonite? |

WTG, Cherrie! Funny, I was just reflecting today on how I ran 3.5 miles with my DW today and thought it was a short run and... just about a year or so ago I couldn't fathom how someone could go out and consistently run 3 - 4 miles a day. Keep up the awesome work!  |

| thanks for the support!!! Kristen, my legs were pretty tired last night and I expected to be pretty sore today but so far so good. Got up without any moaning (which is always a good sign). Today is a rest day and then tomorrow I do my 'reg' loop of 3.5. This running thing really is addictive though - it is nice out today (will be almost 50) and I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I can get a run in |

| Hey, way to go! You're probably gunning for ten now, aren't you? Like dpeach said, 8 is a special number. It's farther than a 10K which was my goal for a year or so. Keep up the good work! |

My memory's not all that sharp these days, I don't remember 8 miles. But I think I will always remember 10, it was hot as hell and I was dragging a HUGE plow behind me. I got to the front of the house, looked up at the three flights of stairs up to the back door and sat on the bumper of my Jeep. I was a big sweaty mess sitting on the bumper for quite a while, there was no way I was making that climb without resting.
It stills brings a smile when I think about it, because I was completely spent and incredibly happy. It's the best kind of exhaustion, isn't it?
Congrats, keep up the good work!
P.S. I didn't know it at the time, but I was making it more difficult to add miles than it had to be. I didn't pay enough attention to my pace, I was doing my long runs too fast. When I slowed my long-run pace by about 2 minutes per mile (or more if very hot/humid) it was MUCH easier to finish up a PR distance run (and climb those damned stairs without waiting). |

Go Cherrie!!
Last Saturday, I ran w/ a gal who is running the Disney marathon this weekend, so she is tapering. When I asked her how far she was going, she said "only 8" then laughed when she realized that a year ago she had never run that far! |

Congratulations are certainly in order. Can double digits be far away??
