So this was my most weekly running miles that I've ever run. My body is definitely feeling it. I'm glad I decided to drop the third weekly run. I don't think I could handle that extra day. Today's 18 miler definitely felt better than last week's 17 miler. And it was almost 10 minutes FASTER too! The weather was cooler, and I didn't have any major pain. My knee and heel only hurt sporadically. Around mile 11 I had weird pain in my second toe, all the way down to the bottom of my foot. It hurt for a few miles then off and on. Not really sure what that was. But I ran the whole thing doing my 2:1 intervals. I didn't have to drop down to extra walking, which I was proud of. Still don't see how I'm going to do 8 more miles though!

Great job! It's always amazing to see how much further we can push ourselves. I'm sure you won't have any problem adding the last 8 miles!
