Can I just make a note of the great injustice inflicted upon my gender. I completed my longest run to date on Saturday, 20 miles! I was feeling pretty good about it, after all, I'm still walking. Later that evening as I broke it down mile by mile to Bob, he mentions that he "added a few more miles" to his run... oh yea I reply? How far did you go? Oh, 26.2...he humbly replies. What???
You mean the full distance?? Oh and did I mention he ran it faster then we have ever run before? Oh, and did I also mention that I run 2 more days a week then he does.. and may I also add that I have been training for 9 years longer.
The truth has been revealed, all this time I imagined myself to be the pacesetter. Come to find out the only reason I keep up is Bob's determination to stay with me. Another swift blow to the ego.. but alas...I will forge on. There's got to be something I'm better at?

Way to go on making 20 miles!!! That's a huge accomplishment! Sorry Bob beat you to it. What were the pretty flowers for?
Awwww, come on! 26.2 miles? That's nothing compared to growing and birthing 3 babies! Hah! Bob's got nothing on your skills, Kristi!
Besides, 20 miles after puking all night is pretty dang awesome. So there. Because I said so.
I second what high heels said!!! I still can't believe you ran 20 miles after puking less than twelve hours earlier! You rock. And share some of what is on that plate, please! You look gorgeous!Thanks for the bread. I just couldn't leave it there. It is so yummy!!!! And the soup was fantastic! Thanks again!
Are you kidding me? Perspective - ask around and you'll find plenty of people you're smoking in the "miles run today" category . . .
you're doing fabulous -
TWENTY MILES! Goodness gracious, girl! You rock!
