18..long long long long long long miles!

Did you hear me say that was a long torturous (sp?) 18 miles.....man!....I was WAY TOO tired....and had not eaten the right stuff thro' the week and definitely not hydrated enough....I realized about half way through that I was going to have another headache....altho' I did not get one during the race....BUT i did do it...and i am glad....know what needs to be done before 20 miles comes up....

I will say if it were not for Shawn, Sunny,and Michelle I could not have done it.....the group helps tremendously....we pulled each other through those last few miles....thanks to all of you!

I have figured out what we needed and didn't have to help things along the way....Jelly Beans....starburst.....they would have warded off those evil spirits......next week..those will be on me...i hereby solemnly swear.....

and the diet will be much better.....i can really tell the difference in this long run and the last long run...garbage in..garbage out....gotta have the good stuff to make everything work well...............guess i won't be able to eat the whole bag of j.beans after I buy them, Huh?.....

managed to get myself home to good old v'burg....after going to a friends house in Woodmore and showering......those pesky flies were getting to me........then off to my bed with an ice pack for my knees...and now...i am reading blogs.....several have called to ask how it went...and that is nice......good support from good friends.......they cannot believe that i am still doing this.....feels pretty good know that yes, I am ....and I am a MARATHONER!!!!....

have a good weekend all of you...patti g.
