I just have to blog about running AGAIN but yes I was able to do 8 miles in 89 minutes!! I am just so proud of myself, and this was not easy, I was afraid that I my legs would give out and I almost did! The last 2 miles were hard because my tennis shoe was rubbing on the back of one side of my ankle-gross-I know and it hurt SO bad, so I thought to myself, "Mary you have 2 options, wait until Willey realizes its been a few hours and you still aren't home, or option to just keep running even if its like a turtle pace just keep going suck up the pain". So I choose option 2 and I was so happy to be home and then a little ecstatic to see the clock, 89 minutes! YES! And my dear sweet hubby went out right when I left and placed a water bottle half way for me, it was the best drink of water I have had in a while :)! I appreciate his support, he let me know today before I left how amazed and proud he was of me and that just made me want to do my best!!
