Today was the long run. The positives - we got up before the freaking crack of dawn and finished 20 miles. The negatives - diarrhea hit me around mile 12. Jeanine cramped up around mile 15 and couldn't run anymore so we walked the last 5 miles. our average pace was 12:16 for the entire 20 mile treck. Let me just take this opportunity to say: I dont like this at all. I dont like running more than 15 miles at any time. I dont like my feet and legs hurting for days. I dont like the fact that a 'long run' doesn't just take me 5 hrs, but it also costs me most of the rest of the day with my family because I was up at 5 am, slept like crap, and poured every ounce of my energy onto the pavement.
I will be so very very proud to get my Disney metal, but I dont foresee any future races that are longer than 13.1 miles.
