Kristie completed her 20 mile run today! I took a cooler with water bottles, some power bars and a book with me in the car and then met her at various points along the way. While waiting I’d read (Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy), and then play water boy when she approached.
She ran 8:06 splits for those 20 miles, in the heat of the late morning, no less. I’m set to run mine on Monday…if I don’t die by mile 16 I’ll be pleased.
Holy crap. I honestly don’t think that I could run one mile in 8 minutes, much less 20. That is awesome.
Kristie… how do you do it?! Oh my gosh I would die to be able to run longer than like 3 miles. I swear I face a wall every time I get around 3 miles and I die. How did you work yourself up to running so long? You’re my inspiration. :)
