Holy Crap I just ran 18 miles!

my first 18 miler is in the books.
left the house at 5:30am.  it was pitch black.
18 miles in just under 4 hours - my time goal.
felt great!
12 of those miles with a friend - AWESOME!
tried new hydration back pack.  worked great when i figured out the mouth piece AT MILE 16.5 - DUH!
didn't rain until mile 17, not too shabby.

now it's time for recovery drink.
ice bath.
hot shower.
compression socks.
get my butt to work.
prep for tailgate.

TAILGATE TOMORROW!  GO BLUE!!

Favorite day of my life so far :)
