14 miles and counting...
One of the great things about being part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge (DFMC) team is that we do group runs. And yes....I ran 14 miles today. It is the first time I have ever run that far. We ran from Watertown to Newton and did part of the Newton Hills on Commonwealth Avenue (part of the marathon course). My back hurts, my knees hurt, I have at least 3 blisters on my toes, and a rash of unknown origin on my side.....but I did it and I ran the whole thing. Part of what kept me going was my friend Heidi who I met at the First-timers meeting. She pushed me through the 14 and I couldn't have done it without her. Only 12.2 miles to go....

Marcy,
Congratulations on completing your long run yesterday - in 'flying' colors.
Be sure to do "recovery-level" activities over the next few days to sooth away those aches. And for the "rash of unknown origin" - hydro-cortisone is like an elixir for the skin.
Keep on keepin' on! Only 12.2 more to go, as you said.
Jack
