Holy crap... I did it!

The title of this blog says it all... I know I've been freaking out about the Shamrock Shuffle... I've been really nervous about being able to run 5 miles (while, yes, theoretically I could always walk part of it). And, up until now, my longest run EVER was 3.11 miles (a 5K). So... how about beating the longest by nearly 2 miles??? Yes... I RAN 5 MILES STRAIGHT... without walking... without a rest. Granted, it wasn't really "running"... more of "jogging" as I was only going 4.5mph... but I ran the whole time... finished in 1:07:08 (which is a 13:26 split)... not great... but I did it. So... thanks for all the encouragement and the prayers... but keep them coming! I now need to make this fairly consistent... yikes!
