Wendy & Me |
COMPLETING MY FIRST 20 MILE RUN! I am so ready for Pittsburgh! I still cannot believe I ran 20 miles! Ran the first 1-3 with the MIT Lucky 13’s, which was awesome:

It’s all about the data after 20 Miles! |
The way back from Komo is kind of hazy. I was tired – really tired. I remember thinking Wendy was hurting and I shouldn’t complain that I was tired. We stopped to stretch a few times and I stopped to walk until Wendy told me if I made it to the dock there MIGHT be a banana there for me. I ran. We made it to Antrim at Mile 18.4. There was no banana, but some MIT people were, and I remember because I showed Jeff and Chelsea my Garmin – it was the farthest I had ever run. I remember Jeff giving me a high-five and I remember thinking, “Man, he is tall, but I already knew that.” I remember Chelsea saying I looked good for having run 18 miles and I remember telling her she looked pretty.

Wendy & Me after 20 Miles! |
Sara, I am so proud to know you! You inspire me every day to keep running. I can’t wait to hear about Pittsburgh and see the pictures of you crossing the finish line.
Way to go!
Great job!
WTG Sara & Wendy!!! You did an awesome job! I love reading recaps like this!
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! I love reading your recaps!!! I can’t imagine how great it must feel to have such a successful 20-miler under your belt. Speaking of what’s under your belt, you’re looking mighty slim, lady. I am so proud of you!!! You are amazing!
This is sooo great! And I have tears in my eyes for you and for all you’ve accomplished. I’m so glad we’ve become friends… I only wish we lived close to one another so I could run alongside you sometime! xo
PS: I ran 16 this morning (my longest ever) and drew soooo much inspiration over thinking of you with your 20 yesterday!
way.to.go!
congratulations on such a great run! you are going to rock your marathon!
you did it!! way to go!! very COOL!
WOOHOO!
I really HATED to find out after I left the group that you all decided to go up into Worthington Hills. Luckily, Jennifer came running up to inform me of that OR I still might be waiting out there for you all!
I have to say that 20 DID seem easier than my 18.6 a couple weeks ago, but that 18.6 was in Pittsburgh. I had my own issues on Saturday, but it made me mentally stronger. I’m glad that you and Wendy had each other to lean on (literally) for all 20 miles. Boy, I’ll miss Wendy. She does have a way of pushing you when you think you’re done.
I’ll see you all at Cap City to cheer on our Lucky 13’s!
