I am completely blown away by the fact that we, mostly I, ran 17 miles yesterday. 5 months ago I would have NEVER believed that I could have ever ran that far. I still don't believe it, but yes it did happen. It was my favorite run so far, mostly because Becka ran my turtle pace with me. I always do better when I run with someone. It takes my mind off of the fact that everything hurts. I can't figure out why I'm so slow, but I honestly have one pace. I can't run faster or slower. It's just slow and steady. Thanks Becka for slowing down to run with me. I honestly appreciate it. Running on the sand dunes really scared me before we started. I kept thinking about the hills and all the little critters that might want to have me for their breakfast. However, I loved it. It was dark enough that we couldn't really see the hills and the weather was perfect. For me I really liked having the 10k route as part of the run. Once we reached Moquie Cave I felt like it would be a piece of cake to finish since we only had a 10k left. It was very motivating. Even though we ran slower than everyone else, we finished and we got done a half hour before I thought we would. To me it was a successful run.

It cracks me up that you say I slowed down to run with you! This is my pace. This is the pace I plan to run the marathon. I am your fellow turtle I tell ya.
