Total Distance
13.79

Well, 13.79 is what Map My Run says I did.  Not sure if I believe it's accuracy sometimes.  I think it was more like 13.5, but close enough.  Went with hubby again.  Took us just over 2 hours.  Pretty tired when I got back, but glad I did it.  When I go with him and we go for longer than 10 miles, I have to run his style (well, okay, I don't HAVE to, but I want to run with him, so I do).  Where I will just flat out run the 13 miles, hardly stopping, he prefers to walk every 2 miles for a minute.  He swears it does him good.  While I don't doubt him, I have a hard time doing that, especially the first 6 miles.  I don't want to stop, I want to keep going!!  But, I do need to take a leaf out of his book as I'm running the St George marathon later this year and I know my running style is going to have to change for that.  I won't be able to race the half marathon distance, since I'll have to go twice that far.  

Foot still slightly sore, but fine while running.  Thinking about getting a second pair of running shoes.  I wore my new ones on the long run today (yes, they are FINALLY feeling broken in) but they were feeling a bit non-cushiony and my feet were feeling pretty pounded by the end.  That never happened in my old shoes.  Think I'll have to go online and find another pair.
