Long runs 14 & 15 miles

I'm not going to lie I was scrared to run 14 miles I have never ran that far ever..... When we started at the Sandunes it wasn't that great with all the hills, but the scenery was pretty and the company made up for it.  When we finally got through the hills miles 6,7&8 were not to bad. I was thankful to get to mile 10 because that meant just 4 left !!!  I was so glad when this run was over it really was a milestone for me and makes the marathon seem a little more do-able.


15 miler
This was defently my best run to date knowing that I survived 14 the week before I knew I could get through 15. On my 14 mile run I was excited to see I actually had one mile under a 10 min mile it was 9:59 but it was under 10. I haven't seen anything under a 10 min mile in years so I was super excited. My goal was to have just one mile under 10 again........ I didn't expect that to happen on my first mile that's usually one of my slowest but it did and continued for at least the next 7 !!! I was pretty pumped about that. I also ran my first 10k under an hour since 2010 !!! This was a great run I felt great and was able to just keep going. I'm crazy but I kinda liked running on the highway because I would see where I was and it didn't seem so long, when we moved to the old highway it all kinda looked the same - even though they are side by side !!! Weird I know !!!
