100 miles stronger!

Things are going well ... very well! I have been running and cross-training consistently. And, last Saturday I ran 8 miles. Okay - so the first two miles was sheer torture, but I finished (and finished strong). My mom and dad, who are in town visiting, even got up in the morning with me, did some running themselves and took pictures of our jaunt. The picture of me below is at the four mile mark. And today I just pushed my total mileage since beginning running to 100 miles! This Saturday we are running 10 miles. Although I'm somewhat nervous, I have no doubt that I will finish, a little sweaty, a lot tired, but finish. Wish me luck!

The picture below is of mom and me, at 6am before the run.

And, although it's difficult to see, the picture below shows us running across the bridge - whew - what a climb!
