w00t! w00t!

16 miles - That's right party people... 16 whopping miles over 3 hours time. Jonna was kind enough to wait for me instead of running it Saturday morning as that was when I was flying back. We got a mid morning start and wrapped it up with a steady pace. It felt good, really good! The wind was crazy though as we headed out to Waukee... I have a friend that lives all the way out there (won't name names, Sara Richards) and we always tease her about how far out she lives and about how she has to "road trip" to come into Des Moines. Well, let me tell you, it feels a lot longer on foot! Ha. Heading out was kinda crazy cause we didn't really have a gauge for how far we would be headed and we just had my iphone app tracking distance to keep us "up to speed", no pun intended. So, as with anything and especially road trips as a kid... the trip back felt SOOO much better and much quicker, not to mention we weren't against the wind as much. I was TOTALLY ready to be done at mile 14 but we stuck with it and finished strong. w00t! w00t! 16 miles... check that off the list yo! Crazy enough after resting for a couple hours on the couch, I spent the afternoon doing yard work. Had to uncover some of those pretty crocuses! Then it was finishing laundry and doing some much needed grocery shopping. I have NO IDEA where all that energy came from other than my list was long and the days are light longer which is WAY inspiring!
