- Happy
- Very proud of myself
- Hot
- Sweaty
- So thankful that it was cloudy 90% of the time we were running
- Thankful to have it done and prove to myself that I can do this
- I had energy and wasn't exhausted at the end
- I felt that I had the endurance to continue (which I will still have 6.2 more to go on race day)
- Love'n me some gu gels and Gatorade!
- My legs hurt - thighs, calves, hamstrings, knees are very sore
- Not sure how my legs didn't fall off
- I am thankful for 'the stick' to massage out my muscles
- Thankful that my husband rubbed my back and shoulders
- I didn't like sitting in a bath of cold water and ice AFTER the run (I was supposed to sit for 20 minutes and ONLY made it about 5 before I had to jump out...brrrrr!)
- I burned over 2000 calories and so I ate a guiltless bowl of chocolate ice cream last night
- Thankful that I didn't have to do this alone and that two other STRONG women were there to encourage, support and make the miles go by faster
- Thankful for a proven training program through Team In Training
- Thankful to God that I am healthy and able to run and survive 20 miles!
Here we are AFTER running 20 miles - these are two power women!!!
