I just ran 10.54 miles! Big grin First time ever in the double digits! So excited! Started out thinking I was going to run 6 - 7 miles and it was just such a pretty morning and I was feeling great, so I just kept going. When I got home, mapped it out and was amazed I ran over 10 miles! Never thought this would happen. 4 months ago, I could hardly run 90 seconds without stopping! I guess all the hot summer running has paid off!

You know what this means, right? You need to hit triple digits sometime in the next 4 months.

Yep, I (dimly) remember that first 10 miler- it's a big deal and quite a milestone. If you used kilometers you would have been in doulble digits weeks ago.

It really helps! Wait 'til it gets really cool. I can hardly wait! Awesome job Kathy!

So bittersweet,
This tragedy
Won't ask for absolution;
This melody,
Inside of me,
Still searches for solution.
A twist of faith,
A change of heart
Cures my infatuation.
A broken heart,
Provides the spark
For my determination.

Congrats! My first 10 miler is still my all time favorite run ever...one of those moments when everything fell into place and I felt like I could have ran forever. I hope you have many more!
