Really tired ... quick cheCk in for me.  Ran the 15 K today finish time was 1:47 planned to run an 11:30 pace and ran an 11:32. Shin felt good just out of breath.  Ha. No walk breaks just kept it slow.   Mitch ran back after he was done and met me and ran the last 1.5 or so with me.  That was nice beacuse I was really wanting to walk at that point.  After that Hubby & I  took all our little ones to the pumpkin patch so I got to chase 3 toddlers around for another 3 hours. Just got home.  I AM ZONKED. ZZZZZZ.

Congrats, Traci!  I'm glad you did it!

Mickey-  When I first went back up to 10 miles, I had some really tough runs at that distance.  Three in a row all felt just miserable.  And then it got better.  I'm not sure what made the difference beyond just stubbornness and sticking with it, but it turns out I wasn't that far away from turning a major corner when I was out there thinking that I was sucking up a storm.
