Wow. My quads are sore just reading. (I did a PCT run last year when I was "off" the bike. TOUGH event. Even the 12 k I did was hugely tough.)

Way to go Yellow!! I'm so glad you got to do the full run and what a great story. That's just wonderful. And to think that that darn head cold nearly destroyed all your plans. EEEEK, that was close.
I'm so happy for you, you did really well. What a great time!Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Great job Yellow! Awesome run. I'm almost (almost, really not more than that) tempted to sign up for one!!
I love how you decided to enjoy your last 10K.
Congrats!!

It CAN be fun. But it takes a while. And you have to mentally be ready for what it hands you. By mentally backing off an running with someone for the second half, I was really able to enjoy my fitness and enjoy the run. Yeah, I could have probably gone faster, but I really couldn't think of a good reason to do that.

Congrats on your milestone accomplishment, Yellow!!!! I'm so thrilled for you! I have a number of ultra-marathon runner friends (who let me tag along for shorter training runs with them
) and I think it's just amazing that you can do that. Endurance sports are all about mental toughness. Glad you found yours and kept your wits about you when you got lost. And btw, very nice finishing time!
Now, do you have any pics of this monumental accomplishment?Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com
