I Ran 9 Miles!!!

It's true!  After foregoing long runs for 2 months or so, I finally did a "real" long run and managed to eek out 9.3 miles (according to my Garmin-owning friend, Brenda).

And to top it off, it was rainy and cold. Its June but it felt like October, for cryin' out loud!  Mid-50's and raining steadily.

But I honestly didn't care. I was just happy to be running long again. Part of me was thinking that I shouldn't be running long, that I should let my hip muscle heal more before venturing into endurance runs again. But gosh darn it, it's been feeling fine lately and i really miss running with my friends.

So, off I went with Kevin, Brenda, Sarah, and Jenny. Woo hoo!  Bring it on baby!
