Another long one down

Yes, I made it the 24 miles. Actually 24.3 miles. And it hurt. Sometimes it was my right foot; sometimes it was my hips; other times, my knees or my right butt muscle.

When exactly does it get easier, anyway? I keep hoping with every new long run, it hurts a little less ... which I guess the 22 miles hurt less than the 20. Oh, well. It's over, and I know I only have 2 more miles to go to complete a marathon. I'm hoping the excitement of the event, all the people, all the entertainment ... those things will get me through.

Again, unless I get injured in the next few weeks, I don't think there's a question of finishing. Now I've just found myself caught up in wanting a decent time. Mmmmm, I think that's probably not going to happen unless everything works out perfectly for me on Dec. 13.

Needless to say, I'm not moving around so well at the moment ...
