Well, I did my 16 miler on Friday and dang it was COLD!!! It was low 40's and very windy. DH only lasted about 5.5 miles and he hopped into the car to listen to music, LOL! By the end, I thought I was close to frostbite because my hands (even in gloves) were so cold! In comparison to my 14 miler, I think I did okay. This time I did a 3/2 - more walk than run. It worked out to about the same speed as the 14 mile run. I was very achy though, by the 13.5 mile mark and walked most of the last couple miles again. It is still hard to conceptualize another ten miles added on but I am very determined to see it through =) I am proud of how my body bounces back now after a very long run - how amazing our bodies are. I am so thankful for this life I have...

I am still working on nutrition too. This time, I was starving by the end of the run. I had chopped up a traditional clif bar into bite size pieces and it was not enough. Not sure if it was the cold or what. Also, still suffering from foot cramps a lot. I ate banana as part of my brekkie that day and another as a pre run snack about an hour or so before the run. I also drank water regularly??
