This is the run that never ends..

I've always wanted to run to my brothers house but it is about 10ish miles away, and I have not ran that far in over a month! Well, one day I convinced myself that if I didn't run there I would regret it all weekend. Which I would. So, I decided to run it.

Well, first I couldn't find the road that led me straight to his town. I ended up calling him and was a mile from the road I wanted. Saying that, I already overachieved and am 5 miles away from the most I've run since May 1st.

I eventually found the road and decided to take the country roads that way I wouldn't look like a freak running on the side of a road. I'm in the country and think the town should be getting close so I go down a road to get on the highway and head into the town. WRONG. I thought I was a lot closer than I actually was. I kept running thinking I would be there in like 2 miles, nope! It took me 5 more miles than I thought! Ugh, I was so frusterated!

I finally got to his town, it only took me a total of 2 hours. Maybe late August I'll do this run again. It was a nice run but I just didn't realize the distance.

So what shoes did I wear? My VFF!! I wore socks with them and put blister rub-stuff on and only got one blister! One horrible blister! Not bad compared to what happened last time!

This week my running goal is 20 miles-the same as last week but I'm not going to run 10 miles in one day...maybe 6 though.
