20 MILES!!!

We are really getting to the peak of our marathon training. We had a 20 mile training run Friday morning. 20 miles!! Previously, 16 miles was my highest! I was nervous. Nervous! I don't know why. I just was. We Jess and Lori are such planners. They weren't sure our two little water bottles on our belts would be enough so Jess made a drop at St. Paul so we could run past and get a shot of Gatorade. GREAT idea!! Just what we needed!
Ready, set, GO!!!
I didn't take anymore pictures. The run seriously went great. We took Gu at miles 5, 10, and 15.  I am totally sold on that stuff.  We never hit a wall and we felt great the whole time!!!  I am so happy with how well it went. It makes me very, very excited for our race and scared because we still have 6.2 more miles to go on top of this! So, so proud to call these girls friends!!! We couldn't do it without each other!! Love them!!

Poor Jess was sick the entire 20 miles.  She is definitely a warrior.  Talk about a no excuse kinda gal!!!  Her family had the stomach bug all week and it hit her the night before our run was scheduled but she did it anyway!!  WOW is all I can say about that!!  WOW!!!
