I did it! My longest run thus far...

Yeah, it wasn't fun and it wasn't pretty, but I did it. Honesty, it was a fucking mind game. I got up at 6:00 after a crappy night's sleep so I could get started early. I throw on some running pants, a short sleeved underarmour and a sweatshirt and head out.

I'm in the car and see the temperature is 18 degrees. Shit! I kept on heading towards the trail. Well, let me tell you it was COLD. I just kept running, thinking it would get better the longer I run. Wrong. By mile 6 my legs were so numb that I couldn't even feel them anymore.

So I have no choice but to head home and get some thermal underwear on. I grab a half a banana on the way out and head back to the trails.

It was really tough to get started again! I kept thinking "fuck this, I can't do this today". I was still freezing and I couldn't get warm. So I turn around and head towards the car. Miraculously, on the way back, I start to feel better.

So I continue and it actually was a pretty nice run. I had a Clif Shot @ mile 10. I didn't have to take any bathroom breaks this time and the rest of the run was smooth. I am glad it's over and I plan on drinking some beers tonight!
