Due to my intestinal bug and my son not having school weds-fri I finally was able to get my long run of almost 11 miles in--this after running not quite 11 whole miles last week. The whole way my body was all "hey, this is great...let's go, c'mon, faster, whooo...yeah, this is fun, c'mon c'mon c'mon...yippeee...hey, did we just do a taper, what's up...zip zip zippidy doo dah...whooo!!!!" Now I'm out of the shower and my body is all "hey...let's go take a nap. Yeah. A siesta sounds good. Can we...please?" Tongue

Good job, Kirsten. I can't wait to have more time to see how far I can run. It seems forced rest did you some good. So who is the other beautiful lady in your avatar? ewa

That's our very own Eryn/backroadrunner! That pic is from her wedding almost 2 years ago. She is starting a new job, today, so I'm nervous and excited for her...thought that picture would be like a little lucky charm for her! Smile

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Great run and glad it felt so good for you!!!

Heh, probably because she's wearing make-up and not grimacing in pain like she is in her current avatar... Wink
