Well, I ran 12 miles a couple of weeks ago, and it was brutal. I mean, it felt fantastic to have done TWELVE MILES, but it was on a very hilly course (by design) and it was haaaaard. Took us 2 hours and 15 minutes.
And then I didn't do squat, running-wise, for nearly two weeks.
On Thursday I did four miles on my own, around my neighborhood. Here's the playlist:
NPR: 10-17-2009 Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
And then this morning, I ran...
wait for it...
FOURTEEN MILES!!! Yeah, baby, 14. For cancer research. 2 hours 25 minutes!!! Oh, that's more than a half-marathon? No sweat!
(Ok, lots of sweat. It was HOT today! I love L.A. I definitely needed that dose of Vitamin D or whatever Vitamin Sunlight is.)
Aaaaaaaand I forgot my knee brace at home, so I ran without it, and it didn't hurt at all! Until I stopped running. Then I was in screaming pain. Literally. Ouch.
But it's ok now. Oh, I have a show tomorrow? I'm sure I'll be able to walk by then :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I've been running more, and when I get tired and need to keep going, I think "well, if RDB can do a marathon, then I can try to be a little more healthy." I was all proud because I hit 3.95 miles in 40 minutes the other day, and now I log on at work and read your blog and you're up to FOURTEEN MILES. Way to raise the bar. Keep up the good work!
Go BP!!! The idea that I can be inspiration to you is huge inspiration to ME!! Let's both keep it up... until we fall down. (Don't worry, I'm very nearly there!)
that's fantastic. I wish I could run that long. still struggling to get past 2 miles :)
You. Can. Do. It.
C, do you run with other people? I bet you could do more than 2 right now if you had friendly support and distraction out there with you; it makes a huge difference!
you guys are so freaking cute.
