18.01

miles.  At once. It was a progression run so the last 20 minutes had to be "hard".  Well, right now sitting on the sofa I would say hard is qualified just by running the 18 miles.  The competitor in me, at mile 15.5 said go..."hard".  I did.  I ran 2.5 miles in 20 minutes at the end and it was definitely "hard".  My heart rate was holding at a steady 186 and I am 33 years old so that's pretty fired up.  Once I was finished and rested a few minutes.....I had the feeling that I could go 8 more.  I didn't; but I could have....and soon I will.
