Yes, Eleven Miles is a Long Way

I made it though. I felt great until starting into the eighth mile. Mile eight was still okay, mile nine was not bad, mile ten was tough... finishing was rough. Mostly it was the heat that was getting to me at the end. We started at a little after 6 am, and finished at about 9. Two hours and thirty-five, forty minutes. I forgot my watch, so I'm not exactly sure. I think we did about eleven minute miles to start and slowed gradually to 12 or 13 minutes (which, for the uninitiated is really slow, pretty much a fast walking pace). But the point was just to finish the distance, not to set any records. I have the feeling I'm going to be pretty sore the rest of today and most of tommorrow. Next week; 12 miles!
