A three hour tour, a three hour tour...

Ever since my failed attempt at eighteen miles I have been stressing about it. This weekend is going to be VERY busy with the Nation's Triathlon from pretty much start to end with no time to run. I knew I only had one chace to get it done.

 I decided to set out for a three hour run since I have no real way to measure 18 miles other than google maps. Three hours means ten minute miles...probably pretty generous for a long run. I feel like I run really slow for anything over two hours but who cares. Three hours is a serious run!

I am still in desbelief that I actually made it. Sure, I had to walk a few times. Yes, my stomach did it's usual crampy dance...but I still clocked in a solid three hours. Amazing! Maybe this marathon thing really is happening!

The true test will be 20 miles on the Sunday evening after a wedding in Ohio. If I can do that I can do anything! i am already recruiting friends to run parts of it with me. 18 miles alone was a lot. 20 might put me over the edge!
