Short and Sweet!

Saturday, I ran 18.1 miles. It is the longest run I have ever accomplished! It seemed to take forever, but I've done it! I had to run it inside on the treadmill due to very wet weather in the Denver area.

I ran a total of 39.42 miles last week and 29.02 the week before.

Training week 11 now and I am on schedule. Miles are up again this week.

I am feeling pretty good about preparing for the Chicago Marathon. At least now, I think it is a possibility.

On Wednesday of this week, I should complete 1,000 miles run in 2008!

Woot! Woot!

Great job! What is even more impressive than the mileage is that the run was completed on a treadmill!

What's a treadmill? Do your clothes melt if they get wet?

Congrats on 1000 miles!
