Pre Lives!

I bought these mothers today!



They are a tribute Steve Prefontaine, one of the greatest American runners of all time.
You can read about him here.

14 & 16 Milers

Ok so its been a little while since I've posted, I've been recooping. Yes, I'm joking. The 14 mile run was the hardest thing that I had ever done (look at the map above). That was until the 16 mile run. I really felt like they were close to the same in difficulty. We ran the 16 mile run in Abbeville, SC. The first 8 miles was no problem (I mean we had already run 14). I was feeling great until about mile 11, then we started feeling it. We had dropped off some SmartWater, Gatorades, and gells all over town. It was like we were just trying to make it to those areas for refueling both physically and emotionally. Well, we finished it and I have never felt such a feeling of accomplishement or pain. Well, I will try to post more frequently. We will be running 18 miles next Sunday!
