Driving home from spectating the full marathon this afternoon, I decided that I wasn't going to put off that 13.1 mile run, and just do it. I didn't want it hanging over myhead for the next eight days. As soon as we got home, I hopped on the treadmill and cranked it up to a steady 7.0 MPH. I felt awesome the entire time and only had to stop the treadmill a few times for things for the kids and for the ten mile break, before the machine shuts itself off. I felt strong, fueled and pumped. I didn't need any gu or any fuel during my run and chugged three bottles of ice water. That's it. I was feeling awesome. The tv was on but I never watched it really. Little Diva and I listened to itunes and sang along.

I have had some interest from many of you, wanting to joing me for my half marathon in February. Some of you want to join for all thirteen point one miles and some for part of it. I'm not sure if this will be happening in Madison or Milwaukee. I need some feedback.
Mark your calendars
