"Taking charge of your body can help you take charge of your life. And that power can help you go wherever you want to go, every single day."

20 mile metro run

the route was from shalene's house to metro park and back to 16 mile and moravia.  it was a great run. we planted many H2O's and powerades along the way.  perfect weather. nice pasta dinner at bahama breeze the night before. no excuses!

it seemed to be a pretty tough 12 miles out. stretched out and kept running... and the last 8 were sooo much easier! this was amazing to be able to accomplish this run with my cuter than cute running partner....shalene patricia!  she was such a tropper because she was SICK! and she finished sooo strong!

some sore hamstrings....big blisters....but that was a sweet course....sweet run....let's hear your story bethany and christa (they ran it it 2 1/2 hrs earlier than we did!!!)

keep runnin'

The aftermath...

Well it wasn't pretty but I made it....I ran the 20.4 the pics are of me on metro parkway, then reaching just over the halfway point...then about to pass out in our house after the run!!! I really couldn't of made it without my partner biking next to me the last 4 miles....She rode the bike super slow I removed my headphones and we just talked as she PUSHED me that last few miles....all and all a great run and time spent with my fiance!!!(by the way only 12 more days I can say that!!!) 

want to throw out a "WHAT UP" to matt bunk running the old half marathon on his B-Day he really is an inspiration to running. It is always motivating to see another running pushing themself to their limits no matter what THAT DISTANCE is.....everyone keep up the good work!

The Half

Sorry to link to my site, but I put up a post about my epic run today.  I know it's not as long as you pros run, but for me it was monumental.  Check mattbunk.com for the details.
