Ran 18 miles :)

   This week was my week of cross training since I was on vacation. I walked all over Old San Juan, hiked in the rain forest and kayaked. I did not run at all this week. I made sure that I was well hydrated before my run today. I set my alarm for 6am, had my coffee and bagel with peanut butter, then headed out at 6:45. It was hot, and I had minimal water left during my last 3 miles. I kept repeating the word push and counting to 100 over and over during the last 5 miles. My toes hurt some, but the pain was more manageable after no heels or flip flops all week. I am so happy that I ran 18 miles today. It took me 3 hours and 50 minutes, and I was exhausted when I was done, but I did it!
