I just did 7, too!

I had planned to do 5, but I felt good so I kept going. Too bad in my head I was convinced I was closer to 8 miles. Haaaaaa.

7.1 miles in 1 hour 22 minutes. Can you say SLOOOWWWWWW? Me too, that's my mantra :-) It may have been a little less (very little) if I had stopped my watch every time I got caught at a light in the city, but who has time to do that?

I had "Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling clementine" stuck in my head for the first mile. I have NO idea why. I did NOT enjoy it. Also EVERY person that was running on the Mall passed me. Even children. Whatever--I'm pretty happy because this is the longest run I have EVER done in my entire life. And like you said--it wasn't too bad! I'll probably eat my words tomorrow when I can't move.

I'm thinking about taking one of those power gel things w/me on runs longer than 6 miles. I was getting nauseous, probably bc I ran right after work at 6:30 and hadn't eaten since lunch. Thoughts on the power goop?

Jess! We ROCK! At running AND blogging! :-)
