It's possible

Today's 17 miler made me think this whole marathon.. me running a marathon might actually be possible!  Yay! Its a great feeling. I have blisters on all my toes. But feeling really great!!  We ran from the sands into town. It was dark the first few miles which was freaky at first but once we got going it was nice.  Today was just another run that makes me wonder how people train for. Marathon alone. My fellow fishes keep me swimming!
Oh and P.S..  MaryAnn put some Peanut M&M's in our aide stations and can I just say...  best. running. snack. EVER!  Loved it!!
   It's probably why the run was so great!

I always LOVE running down the sands.  This day was no different!  Ran with Bryant and Lexi til mile 13 and then they left me and ended up doing 19, I was happy finishing the 17.  
 I made Bryant go back to an aid station to get some Peanut Butter M&Ms for me, I couldn't go back my watch was on and I didn't want to mess up my mileage... 

I ain't gonna lie, I always LOVE seeing the final stretch to home on these long runs!



I loved this run! It was so nice to have MaryAnn to run and chat with for the first 13. The time went by so fast and we kept a good pace while talking! Props to us! I even stopped to pee on this run! haha. I don't do that much. MaryAnn told me to go ahead at 13 or I would have ran the whole thing with her. I think she wanted some "alone" time. Just kidding. She keeps me safe on those highways. I know I stress her out. Bryant went ahead of us a little before and I tried to catch him. He took a different route in town and ended up heading towards the park. Wow... sure fun to end your 19 miles on the park road! Not. haha. I followed him anyway and we both ended up doing 19 miles. I have to say by mile 19 I was completely spent.
