Longest Run EVER!

I am so excited that we finally finished our goal today. I haven't been able to do what was planned the last couple of weeks so I was very determined today. It was nice and cool out, so that started things off right. We ran the Swamp Rabbit Trail from Travelers Rest to Greenville. I had been on parts of it but hadn't run the whole thing before. It was really great, though just a tad dark. I suggested one of the guys needs to wear a blinking light but didn't have any takers. Anyway, we finished 15 miles...and in good time too! It was amazing. I haven't ever run that far before so I was very happy to finish! We stopped just once at mile 9 for a quick break and some energy.

The weekend is off to a great start! Tonight I have Girl's Night Out with an amazing and incredibly fun group of gals, so I am really looking forward to that. We aren't heading out until late (11ish - what??) so I plan to try to take a nap while Jake does (since I was also up at 4:45 a.m.). That and some caffeine should have me well prepared for our fun times tonight! Speaking of those girls, here we are over 10 years ago...scary, I know. 10 years and many kids later and we still like hanging out! :) Unfortunately we all can't be there, but most of us will be.
