running all over the world by katie73

Well thats most of the hard work done and dusted!  Jenny and I did a 20mile run on Sunday morning.  It took us just over 3 and a half hours.  I reckon we were going pretty fast as there were stops for toilet breaks, purchasing of more water, cheating (to walk up a couple of hills) and to get a free hug from a man dressed as a chicken.  Not sure that I didn't hallucinate the last bit as it was at mile 19 but Jenny did see it too!  I was absolutely broken by the time we got back... Its about the worst that I've felt and rocked my confidence a bit.  I reckon that I am accumulatively tired now so there will be more resting and eating now and less long runs.  We are going to do 8-10 on Saturday.  Meanwhile I am going to keep up the weights and do some swimming and shorter runs.  Getting quite excited now. I read all the paperwork that arrived from Berlin and there are 60 bands on the way round.  Sounds totally cool.... Hope I can be too....
