can ya'll believe we actually ran/walked/jogged 11 miles today, just hard to believe isn it,,as they say, who would have thunk it!,, my time was alright,, 2:39 wish i could have done better, and could have but , i guess it was that IT band, got really tight on my left leg and when i tired to run any, it hurt so i stopped and it seemed when i stopped trying to run, i just sank and that last mile i was barely going,, i need to get the gels, then i rubbed my face and it was iikkkkkk,, grainy, then i rubbed my arms and it was too then i looked down at my leg it was white grainy, the salt stuff the mark talked about,, im darn proud of that, ha,,
this is truly something isnt it you guys!,, im so glad i decided to do it, even as hard as it is sometimes,,im glad, what good people you meet and speak to along the way,, and we are all in the same boat,, sink or swim and have have choses to swim!,
speaking of swimming, i came home and immediately got into the pool, water about 80* so maybe that will help the body some, the leg feels good now, glad i stopped when i did, gotta listen to the body as mark says,
have to pick the hubby up at 6, will be soo good to have him home for awhile,
take care all and have a good weekend!

I gotta get the gels, too. That last 2 mile stretch was almost a killer. And the salt.... makes ya feel like you're at the beach. Only you've EARNED this sweat!!!
I can't wait to get back out there with you guys and "feel the salt"! Have a good week with your hubby.

Good job, Vickie! Glad your hub is home for a while!
HI Vickie!
Sorry I missed seeing your Salt! I'm very sympathetic with the IT band problems. I got some exercises from a physical therapist, and use ice and it really did help.
Glad your husband is home for awhile. Enjoy the time!

Yeah, my dog loves it when I get home from the long runs. He licks and licks until I get in the ice bath with the whirlpool bath. I never thought I would look forward to ice in my bathwater!!
I thought you did GREAT! I mean, who has the energy and the breath to be able to SING while doing 11 miles????!!!! I know I don't!
I've been seeing "salt" for a while now. I don't like it, specially because I hate the beach and anything that reminds me of it. lol. Glad your hubby is back.
