OK Dani. Are you ready for that 20 miler?

I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!! I did it!

Thank you sooooooooooo much for all the encouraging words.

I just got home from the 20 mile training run. I was so worried about it last night because I have a bad cold. http://www.chittielounge.com/board/images/smiles/sick.gif

I had to get this run in though. I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I was able to run this 20 miles with a cold, then I can for sure finish that Chicago Marathon in 3 weeks right??? :)

This is the longest distance I've ever run. I ran with my training group which was great because we really encourage each other. My feet feel achy and so does my right knee. But, otherwise I'm okay. I feel sleepy because of this cold though.

Thank you again so very much you guys!!!! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/fsc/sunglasses.gif

http://bestsmileys.com/signs15/11.gif[/img] Dani! Yes, if you can do this 20 miler with a cold then you can finish the marathon..:)...because now you get to taper off a bit so your legs will recover and hopefully your cold will be gone soon...Congrats!!!...:7..Carole
 
RE: I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Dani, did you notice you were post #20?? I thought that was cool.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You can conquer the world now!

Awesome job!
 
RE: I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!! GREAT JOB DANI!!!! Your so awesome!!! I hope I will be as tough as you and running all those miles some day!

I have a suspicious feeling that your cold may be a smidge of overtraining. I only suggest that because I have been fighting a sore throat since I was kicking it in the ass for my training. The more sleep I got, the better my throat would feel. The good news is, if I am right, it seems to get better WAY easier than an actual cold! You have the Runners Wold issue for this month, right? Have you read the article about the "Monster Month"? It's time to taper for you, isn't it? Get some rest! You can afford it...your ready!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you let us know how you are feeling on Monday!!
 
RE: I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome job Dani! I planned to call you yesterday and time got away from me since we were gone most of the day. You have done amazing in such a short amount of time training. GREAT JOB!!!!

RE: I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone!!! http://chittielounge.com/board/images/smiles/grouphugg.gif

Sarah, yes I did read that article. Yep, it's time to taper! Yay http://smilies.sofrayt.com/^/r/dance.gif

I woke up feeling much better but still sniffling a bit, sneezing and coughing just a little from that post nasal drip. I took some Tylenol Sinus Severe Congestion - Daytime, and it works GREAT!

No sore throat though, thank goodness. I know I caught the cold from hubby because he started getting his a few days before it hit me. But, I know with all this "Monster Month" training, I probably lowered my immune system and sucked his germs right up. Even though I tried to avoid him.

Wow Amy!! I didn't even realize that! How cool!
 
RE: I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Dani! Congrats on your 20 mile victory!! That's an awesome accomplishment & not easy!! I read your tips that you provided to me & I must say I now can join you ladies as a jogger but I don't think I'll be entering any marathons but you never know!! I finally understand how to jog & I sooo appreciate all your help. Thanks so much Dani & again congrats. Kathy:D
 
RE: I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are so welcome Kathy! Yes, please join us fellow joggers. That would be GREAT!!!

I was thinking about the gliding tips we talked about myself during the run. It really makes a difference.
