10 MILES

I ran 10 miles this morning.  I just...can't believe still that I ran 10 FREAKING MILES this morning.  It was just kind of mind numbing to think that when C and I got to our 5-mile mark, we were only halfway done!  Crazy.

Start - Okay, it's a bit chilly, but this is fun!  *chat with C*
Mile 1 - Wow, we're going a bit faster than I anticipated.  I hope we don't keep this pace for the entire 10 miles.
Mile 2 - *chat* *BREATHE* *chat* *GASP* *chat*
Mile 3 - Ooo, look, a HAWK!  Let's stop and look at him.  Oh, darn, he flew off.  Keep running?  ...well, okay.
Mile 4 - Hey, we're in new territory I've never run before, let's keep going and see where this path goes!  ...it's starting to look a bit seedy...holy crap, why did they stop with the paving of this bike path?!?
Mile 5 - Oh, thank goodness, we're at our turnaround point.  Gatorade, energy drink, and a short gasp before we continue running.
Mile 6 - Wow, there are other people out and about at this hour!  Hi, runners!  Hi, biker!  Hi...man who is peeing by the river?  WTF????  I'M SO TIRED OMG.
Mile 7 - More hawks!  I'm tired, how the F* am I going to finish this run?  Holy crap, what is this feeling????  Omg, it's the energy drink, I feel all tingly!  Weee, let's RUN!
Mile 8 - You want to walk now?  What?  I want to dance and spin and run some more!  Bweeee!
Mile 9 - Oh crap, I'm tired again.  More energy drink, more Gatorade, more...just one more mile...GASP...my feet hurt...
Mile 10/Finish - OMG I SURVIVED 10 MILES OF RUNNING.  Wtf, my running app says we ran 9.99...let's just fudge it a bit, okay?  Seriously, I'm not running 20 more feet...are you tired too?  Where the f* is my Gatorade...

Now, I'm off to tend to some severe chafing from my clothing...
