17 miles
My first long run for the month was a 17 miler.
My cousin Wes was doing it with me.
I didn't walk or stop at all for the first 10 miles.
I was so excited.
My best 10 miles ever.
The last couple of miles were rough ones.
I did go back to run - walk, run -walk.
I screwed up on my app and forgot to start it,
my app says 16 but my watch says 18,
(it runs a little fast) so I'm guessing I did 17 ...
Wes, thank you so much for going with me and pushing me to not walk.
It was an AWESOME run.
Love ya and Thanks again...
Here is Pam's 17 miles.
Great job Pam..
Week 15
Feb. 10, 2013
18 miles
This was the week to do 18 miles.
Denny took me and dropped me off 2 miles outside of Napavine.
It was strange watching him drive off knowing that
I had to run all the way home and then some.
It turned out to get 18 miles in, I ran from 2 miles out of Napavine through
Chehalis, to Centralia, down Mellow Street and back on
Gold Street and to the fairgrounds to hit the 18 miles.
No one ran with me but Denny followed me around in the truck.
He would make sure I was ok and give me water when I needed it.
I was so glad to see Denny at the 18 mile point with the truck for me to get into. LOL
That was a rough one, but I did it.
They say if you can do 18 miles you can do the 26.2.
Holy crap I still can't believe I'm doing this.
Week 16
Feb 16, 2013
16 miles
Pam and I got to run together.
She and Paul had come over to watch Wes and Meghan's kids so
Pam and I were able to get our 16 mile run in.
It was good to have her to push me, I got one of my best runs in.
Week 17
Feb 23, 2013
13.1 miles
Tri City 1/2 Marathon in Richland.
This was mine and Pam's second time doing
this run and we both PR'd.
It was a fun but cold and windy run.
I do have to say I will never do this one again. LOL
To much wind.
I'm really working on my food intake before during and after the run.
My stomach is really sensitive when I'm running so I can't do the "Gu"
so I got some advise from people and was told to try some different things.
So here you go. Something in this pile should work. LOL
I ordered these pants and I'm excited to train in them,
I have heard they are awesome.
Maybe they will make me run really really fast LOL

I think my training is going good. The long runs are already getting old and
I'm ready for them to be over but I still have several weeks to go.
I didn't get my 100 miles running in for the month but I did get 80.1.
(it was a short month)
But that's OK, Pam made me realize that in the last 7 weeks we have run
at least a 1/2 marathon every weekend if not more.
That is unreal to me.
This is the way to end the month and pamper my feet.
Pedicure and hot wax treatment.
Love this...
March here I come...
Run... Run... Run...
