I had to work today so I wasn't able to join my team for the "long" run this morning. I had to conquer 10 miles on my own after working all day...not an easy task. I am definitely a person who prefers her workouts/runs in the morning. As always, I thought of Gina and the the fight that she faces each and every day. Her legs hurt so much lately that sometimes she can't even get out of bed or off the couch. So, she gave me the motivation I needed to get out there. Not to mention that the weather was absolutely perfect for running! My dad was such a great support system for me today. He was out on the course cheering me on from the car. He was waiting for me at miles 4 and 8 with Gatorade, Water, Gu, Blocks and everything else I may have needed to give me an extra kick. He even took along his camera and got some great "action shots" and mini videos. Those are the pictures you see here. A special thanks to him for supporting me on the course today; not sure I could've done it without him. Another successful long run is come and gone. I can't believe I just ran 10 miles!! In three weeks, I'll be running a half marathon. I just can't believe it. I am really surprising myself and doing things I never thought possible...
