15 miles.

I had a pdr yesterday. PDR = personal distance record for those who don't know runner lingo.   I ran 15 freakish miles!  It was part of my training plan if I felt I could do it.  I felt like crap half way through, but determination made me keep going to say I did it.  I went slow (for me), although at times I found myself at my normal pace, way too early in the run which didn't help my legs near the end.  I tried to slow back when I found my times too high.  You are supposed to go slower than your race pace when doing long runs.  I pretty much did for the most part.  My legs and feet just hurt at the end!  I craved coke with ice and a cupcake by the end.  I got the coke with ice, but settled for a doughnut instead, b/c that was readily available.  I even took an ice bath.  Note: ice bath for me equals a tub with cold water.  That was painful!  I think it helped some though.  So I can now say I ran 15 miles.  Phew.  Not sure I can go much further than that.  At least til 15 becomes a bit more comfortable!
