today went much better than when Jenny and I did our 13 miler - just the 2 of us.  Today it was us two and leslie and Desiree were with us.

It was a good loop with some gentle up and down with one big uphill and one major downhill but not too steep.  I learned a lot from the 13 miler - when I start to feel the nausea coming on, stop and walk and it's okay.  This run was a good one for me mentally.  I felt a lot better and kept the pace a little slower so I could at least finish running this time.

Here's the stats:

14.25 miles in 2:56/ 12:44 avg pace - I felt like we made pretty good time considering we did a little more walking and had two bathroom/water stops.

My only problem now is I can barely walk.  I've had ice on my knees for almost an hour.  Now I'm going to go shower and crash.
