Today was the first time I ran a distance over 12 miles without having severe leg cramping and it felt AMAZING. I averaged a 11:23 min/mile pace even despite stopping to walk with my friend who unfortunately DID have leg cramping (it was the farthest she's ever run), which really makes me happy. I'm still ridiculously slow, but the fact that I can run 13.1 miles and be absolutely fine after it is an incredible and empowering feeling and I am hoping for a sub 2:15 on race day, which really shouldn't be a problem. I remember when it once took me 3 hours to complete a 10 mile run because my hamstrings got so incredibly tense that it was unbearable. I also remember a 13 mile run where my calf cramped so badly that I fell in the street.

Running feels like torture at times, but I cannot even begin to describe to you the feeling I get when I finish.
