I am amazing

I am really really amazed at myself today. I ran 12 miles... Our run today was the Stanford Dish - which is suuuuuuuper hilly, and then around Portola valley, which was much flatter.
The dish (hilly) section was about 6 miles, and Erin and I only walked up a few of the nastier hills and down a few of the nastier hills. Because really, running up huge hills you feel like you're running in place, we seriously walked faster. And I know this because usually one of us would start walking and start beating the other person. Once that was done we had 6 miles of reasonably flat reasonably shady terrain. We'd stretched at aid station, and said, OK, we can do this. And we went for it.
We did the last 6 miles with no walking!!! I've never run 6 miles without doing the run-walk thing, and to do that immediately after 6 miles of mostly running on crazy hills?
I am so impressed with myself. And with Erin, the greatest running buddy ever.

Go team! Wooooooo!!

You're so adorable. You know it was me that ran while you walked faster. :)

We are awesome!
