Post run euphoria

[Elaine Keller]

I'm sitting here with my feet in a bucket of ice water, eating a protein smoothie and feeling good. I just ran 15 miles in 2 hours and 12 minutes. That's an 8:48 pace so I'm on track for a 4 hour marathon! I'm so excited and asking for good vibes, prayers, whatever, that I can finish the training injury free and accomplish my goal of qualifying for Boston. Thank you!!!!

I am so proud of you!!

I have never run more than 8 miles at once. I admire your goal and your drive to attain it.

I am sending best wishes that you remain injury free and qualify for Boston. When and where are you planning on qualifying for Boston?

Elaine,
I'm with so with you!! I went to school with someone with your name and I am exactly your age...I had to do a double check to see if you were her. Although I know from you're pictures you are not...every single time I see your name I get warm fuzzies!!! I am 100% rooting for you!!

Elaine,

That is so AWESOME!!!!!! I hope some day I can run like you, Carole and Beverly! I am in awe!

When is your marathon? I know marathon season is fastly approaching! I am currently training for a 1/2...it's in about 6 weeks! I did a 1/2 today for the first time but it was on my treadmill...still felt pretty darn good!

ALSO, does soaking the feet after a long run really help? (It must if your doing it) How soon after your run and for how long?

Fill us in on the details!!!
