16 miles

The body achieves what the mind believes. Couldn't be a more perfect quite to go along with my run this last weekend. I wasn't nervous about the big task I had to take on of running 16 miles. (Farthest run to date!) I knew that with the right mindset I would crush the pavement. Although I'm slow, it's still a mile.(or 16) the run started out by running downhill up to highway 68. The first two miles one would predict the run to be terrible. I got two side aches,(guessing because I ate my bagel and banana a half hour before the run!) Steve dropped his water bottle so we had to stop, my camelback seemed like it was leaking water, and I had to stop a few more times for my side again. It wasn't too windy out a little chilly until about an hour into running. We ran all the way to new Ulm Into town to kwik trip gas station and then back out to highway 14 back to our house! The rest of the day my muscles were so sore! Foam rolling didn't help much. Using oils and stretching. This upcoming weekend will be our 6th half marathon in less than a year! In new Prague.
