Everything Hurts!

I'm sorry I haven't updated for a while. Life has been insanely hectic and will continue to be rather hectic until May 19th. This will be a short entry, but I wanted everyone to know that I am still training even if I haven't updated my blog.

Today Eitan and I set out to run 16 miles together. We were at Camp Ramah for Passover and missed 2 Sunday practices. We had to make up a very long run on our own and it was ridiculous. The run out wasn't so bad at all. We ran from Shobi's daycare to Venice Beach. By the time we saw the water, I felt ready to sit down. We'd been running for 2 hours at that point. Then we turned around and started to head home. It was hot and I was sooo tired. I kept telling Eitan that I thought he should run ahead, get the car and drive back and get me! He said no and stuck with me. I run slower than he does and he was really sweet and stayed with me. Then my knee started to ache so much and I could feel blisters on my feet. After 3 1/2 hours of running, I my knee decided it wasn't interested in carrying my body any longer. We walked a few miles in for a grand total of 4 hours on our feet.

I decided today that I need to stick to the original plan of the half marathon. I really wanted to go the full 26.2, but I don't think my body is going to go for it... I'll keep you posted!
