Yesterday Mike and I ran 8 miles. While it was a stroll in the park for him, that is the farthest I have ever run. My heart felt fine, save it be for the slight incline I like to call a hill (Mike was kind enough to humor my definition). However, my hip flexor is flexing its power over me today AND I have two blisters (I was wearing my new shoes that I have only worn on the treadmill for a few miles). The blisters are in areas where I have some lovely calluses and they should be fine very soon. While I am in some pain today I do feel more confident that I will get there- to marathon status. Sawyer wants to play. Time to go.

I'm going to try to extend it to 9 miles today or tomorrow...I'll let you know how it goes.
