o.k., so not much faster

So I assume you all remember the last time I did a 20-mile training run. I was not positive I would ever walk again. And I didn't walk real well for several days. I did another one today. Don't get me wrong. It was hard and the thought of tacking another six miles on the end of that distance is pretty daunting but it wasn't even close to as hard as last time. It was significantly better than the 18-mile run I did last week. Maybe I'm getting stronger or tougher or just better at tuning out the painful stuff. Maybe I really am a distance runner and not a big faker.

Nice work Angie!! I wish I was in that kind of shape right now. It just the whole having-a-baby-in-6-weeks thing that is holding me back. Ugh....

Ya know what they say ..... "A marathon is just a 10k with a 20 mile warm-up."
