11 miles and salt

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!
