Well last Saturday, I got up and decided to get this done. I grabbed Laela and off we went. It was a good walk/run. The only problems we encountered were when we got around the dam, and were told we couldn't be up there. So we double backed, and went down this rather steep and tall incline, and crossed a muddy creek, which of course I stepped in with both feet, and sunk almost to my knees. So that was really unpleasent, cause now I have wet feet, my shoes are covered in mud, and I've got mud almost to my knees, and Laela's in pretty good shape, and we still have about 4.5 miles to go. So we continued on, and those people who said I couldn't be up there, and they were handing out fines took off. AAHHHH!!!
Well I learned 2 important things that day, dry feet are a good thing, blisters are no fun. And I've got to keep going with my diet, chaffing stinks too. So enough with the griping and lessons. I was really proud of Laela, she's kind of little, and 9.1 miles is a pretty good little clip. Trying to work up to a half marathon, and wanted to get an idea for the length. My next big goal, is to go around 2 times! That'll be cool.
