My running buddy and I accidentally ran 9 miles today. I know it sounds silly but we ran the Tobacco Trail which is a common running area in NC (no tobacco is on the trail, btw). It's an amazingly beautiful trail and the other runners/ walkers/bikers are so nice. We were planning to do 6 miles today but my running buddy who usually keeps track of the distance messed up. (I'm "directionally-challenged" so it's not my job). I was wondering why my feet were hurting towards the end. LOL. So, we ran 9 miles and it felt great! The majority of my life I've been a sprinter but I was never a good distance runner. But "practice makes perfect," I guess :) I just feel good and I just wanted to encourage you all that you can achieve your goals and more too.
Good luck!

ReplyDeleteOnly crazy people do this :). Good thing you love running, that's a sure way of losing weight, so keep doing it.
ReplyDeleteI want to become a runner after this baby, maybe one day I will accidentally run 9 miles ;)
Haha Sean and I have done that before, too funny! He kept saying we passed it, we passed it and I didn't believe him. What was suppose to be 3 miles ended up being 6. He wasn't happy with me :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you enjoyed your unexpected longer run though :)
Wow! A very good accidental! Hahaha... Well done. ;). You know, u shld take picture of yr trail. It must be very beautiful for you to be mesmerized for 9 miles.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could accidently run nine miles. I don't even think I can run 1 mile. The other day I was running to a code and felt like I was about to code myself. I am so out of shape. Will you be my personal trainer?? like seriously!
ReplyDeletethanks for your comments ladies.
ReplyDeletePegster: I can't stop cracking up at your comment. "only crazy people do this." You are hilarious. You can do it.
Amy: You crack me up. Would love to train with you. I hate that we live 30 minutes apart. I have to talk to you soon to see if we can work something out for one day per week. I'm serious ;)
