10.

10. that is what i just ran. 10 miles. are you kidding me?! i can't believe i just ran 10 freaking miles. these training plans kinda do work, i would have to say!!! only 3 miles more and it'd be a half marathon. it is amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it. i never in a million years thought i would do that. furthermore, this morning as i am getting ready to start this intimidating run of 10 miles, i discover my ipod battery is dead. it must not have been turned off and it ran out from the last run. so now i am a little worried at the thought of 10 miles. with no music. never did 1 mile without music, so i am thinking, how the heck am i going to do 10?!!! but i did, it wasn't horrible. that was a feat in itself, having no music to help me forge on, especially when i am tiring out. i do have to say though, it was nice at that EARLY hour to just hear the creek flowing and the quietness as the world woke up. i did miss my tunes by the end, but the solitude was much needed. maybe that ipod ran out for a reason today! anyways, i definitely need to keep "practicing" this longer distance, but wow. i am kinda impressed with myself. amazed to say the least. who woulda ever thunk it?! not me.
