I kicked that 9.5 miles in the ass so hard I ran *10* miles

\o/\o/\o/

Time: 2:15:26

Which is ... slow very, very, very, slow. 13.5 minutes per mile. BUT! I only walked one short, STEEP, hill. I felt good the whole way even the first mile which I always hate. I kept my heart rate right around 170 which is exactly where I wanted it. I had one constant aggravation which was my heart rate monitor kept losing contact with my watch. I don't think I got enough water on it when I put it on, and I had to keep adjusting that. It was my first run with my CamelBak running belt. I had 24 ounces of glorious liquid with one scoop of P90X recovery drink. I'm about to finish a second serving of the exact same thing and some home made chicken noodle soup.

I am tired. Sore. I'd kill someone for a massage [although I don't actually want anyone I know to be in my space right now.] So should clarify, I'd kill for a massage from a pro that wouldn't talk to me at all. Good god almighty my feet hurt but it was AMAZING. You guys, I ran 10 miles! It was only a little over 4 years ago that I was a moderate to heavy smoker. The human body is so amazing, it can do *anything* you just have to train it first.

I know now for an absolute fact that I'm going to get through this half.
