The 12 Miles of Saturday

During the 12 miles of Saturday, I encountered all these things:
  • 12 miles a covered,
  • 11 turkeys a waddling,
  • 10 horses grazing,
  • 9 deer a leaping,
  • 8 barn cats meowing,
  • 7 hundred birds a singing,
  • 6.2 miles a racing,
  • 5 dozen cows,
  • 4 water stations,
  • 3 chocolate GUs,
  • 2 hundred runners,
  • and a tired, happy girl at the end.

I couldn't really figure out how to integrate the manure puddle I stepped in, the 2nd place age group awards my sister and I brought home, and the blood my sister coughed up. (She's fine- just finishing strong.) It was a great day! : )

Explanation of this randomness: I ran 5.8 miles by myself early this morning and then went to town with my mom and sister to run a 10K at 9 am. Even it wasn't 12 miles continously, it's just going to have to count. Building up to 14 next week!

  4. New Follower! I would say 12 miles ran in one day counts! Great Job on the award, also!
