My longest run yet!
Posted by Kristin Linscott under: Kristin Linscott .
I would have NEVER in a million years thought I would be able to run an entire 12 miles…consecutively! Saturday was amazing…thank you to Julie and Shirl for running with me - you are AWESOME!
Besides stopping at the aid stations at miles 3 and 6, I ran the entire time, no stopping. Might have slowed down at bit at times, but holy cow, what a great sense of accomplishment. And to make it even better…I’m not even sore 
Another interesting change - I ran the 12 miles without my MP3. It was so peaceful without the blaring music streaming through my head. I had about 2 hours of running to just clear my head and ‘think.’ Just me and the road (and Julie and Shirl!)…very tranquil.
I was feeling VERY nervous about the race coming up on May 10th. But now I really feel confident that I will finish the 25K without any problems other than being tired and a little sore afterwards. And I’m sure the beer tent at the finish line will provide a bit of relief as well
We are a little over a month out. We should all be so proud of our progress and accomplishment up to this point!
One Comment so far...

Great job, Kristin!!! I had that same feeling of pride w/ being able to run the whole way Saturday and not take a walk break! I’d love to run with “the girls” sometime pre-race–sorry I missed you all at the start to catch you!
