Today I ran 20.12 miles!! Can you believe it? Me either! I was only planning on running 18 until I realized that I should probably run 20 this week and then 20 again next week. That way I can run 14 miles the week before my marathon. So a last minutes decision changed my run today to 20 miles. I averaged an 11 minutes mile. Not what I wanted but I am perfectly okay with it. I am just glad I finished. However, I am very sore. My legs were super tired, duh, and I can feel the soreness coming on - and getting worse as the night goes on. But I will take it. :)
I wanted to thanks everybody for your support (positive comments) while I do this. I love hearing them and they mean the world to me. It reminds me :) why I love running. Unfortunately for every body the next couple of weeks my posts will be about my running. That way I can remember this once in a life time event forever. So thanks for putting up with the post and thanks for the comments!!

Wow! Way to go for it - the soreness is so worth it! Oh, and FYI, if you stretch again before you go to bed the soreness isn't as bad.
Thanks Amy! The soreness was well worth it! And thanks for the advice. I did stretch again before I went to bed and I woke up Sunday feeling great. Even better then when I ran 17 miles. I also took some Ibuprofen and some Icy Hot and I think a combination of all three things helped. So thank you! Any other advice is much needed..
