I still wasn't feeling 100%. I was at about 70%. I feel like I am on the verge of getting sick. The achyness, sore throat, sniffles, etc. I was planning on canceling the run but I had made plans with Andrea. So I sucked it up and went. By mile 2.5 I was ready to turn around. But Andrea said that maybe we would feel better after a few more miles. We kept going till we got to the next waterstop. I thought "Hey this isn't so bad." Then as soon as we hit Mt. Bonnell I was ready to call it a day. But we were so close to finishing. So we just kept going, hill after hill after hill. I swear every street name had the word mountain or hill or valley in it. Let me say it was the longest 12ish miles of my entire life. I didn't say good bye to anyone just hoped in my car and headed home to shower and sleep. I didn't want to be talked into doing any additional miles. Taking Sunday and Monday off to recover from whatever I have.

Thanks Andrea for the great company and talks. I really enjoyed. I wouldn't have made it near that far if it wasn't for you.
