      WOOOHOOOOOOOOO WTG Ed!!!

        Keep going and you will double it! When I first started running 5 miles seemed so incredibly long...then just a few months later I was up to over 13 right before my half marathon. I'm back up to almost 11, now...hope to get up to around 16 before my 25k in mid-May. Now I just need to get faster, LOL! How was the weather for your run? Long runs are so much more enjoyable when it's beautiful outside. Smile k

            Man isn't that something!!!Suddenly you are running distances you never thought you could!! Our group just 8 this morning! And it was the first time I did 5 without walking!! Next week is 10 miles and I am not really worried about it.
            To paraphrase an old poster: Today is the first day of the rest of your training. It doesn’t matter where you started or how far you’ve come. Today is the day. Your training didn’t start 6 weeks ago. Your training started the last time you hit the road. John “the Penguin” Bingham Life is not tried, it is merely survived if you're standing outside the fire
