14mile - Waddell creek to silver falls, Big Basion
So i finally signed up for a marathon. There are a couple of things i think one should experience at least once... and of course, completing a marathon is one of them. Recall the time when i signed up for a half marathon and never did it. I have 2 versions as to why it was a no-show. To people who i don't know very well, i tell that i had an ankle injury. To my closer friends, i just tell them the blatant truth -- that i overslept. Both are equally true but seriously, i would have ran with my injured ankle. But maybe it was a good thing i didn't run, because my ankle recovered after 2 months of not running. [after all that TCM of rubbing my ankle, which hurts like f***ing a lot during each 30min session, which didn't help]I did my 1st 14mile run last weekend. It was a rainy Valentine's day! haha. My longest run ever and i never thought i could do it. but hey, i did. All it takes i guess are running buddies, water and gu (and bearclaw). It was pure exhilaration after 1.5 hour into the run. Sweat/salt encrusted face, and legs cakes with mud... but it felt so darn good. =)
