I'll keep running....
Because it gives me perspective.
Now I realize my problems aren't so big.
My life is pretty great afterall.
And a mile is a lot longer than it seems in the car.

[1:30:34] Can't believe I finished the race! This is the farthest I have run since 2 years ago when Hannah and I did our tour de Boston!  I am so proud of my poor little body!!  If I could do that with no training at all then next year I am going to kick ass!  The most fun race I have ever run!  All the music and the people and the run through showers and all the free stuff....especially the beer!!  I knew I could keep the 10 minute mile pace for 6 miles since I've done it before so I tried to stick to that and hope it could get me the extra miles I've never run before... and it seemed to work!  I felt sluggish and kind of icky at about the 7 mile mark but tried not to think about the 2+ miles I still had to go.  I dumped a bunch of water on my head and used the music on the side of the road to push me to the end.  The last mile or so seemed to take forever but I felt good and sprinted through the finish line to the beer tent!  I am super excited to run this race next year and it made me feel pretty confident that I can do the half marathon in September (though I will actually train for that one).
