OUCH IT HURTS!!

So...... I ran 13 miles today!! The birds were singing, the sun was shining, the snow was melting, yadi yadi yada until mile 9! Cardio was holding on but the legs were tired and heavy + my knee started to act up. But I finished in 2h33 @ 11:48 min/mile. Glad to be done but it looks like this 30K (18.64 miles!!) race coming up will be hard on my body! At least I'm running it with a friend....

First CONGRATS on finishing your thesis. I'm sure that had to be a HUGE weight of the shoulders.

And OMFG I can't believe you ran 13 miles?!? AWESOME JOB!! ;D

30 k is only 5 and a bit more miles than you did today, so you should be okay.

Great job on the run and the thesis!!!!

My sister-in-law is also a Ph.D candidate. It sounds like hell, from what she's told us. So I applaud you for doing something I will never do!!
