PAIN
Guess I've found my threshold... between 8 - 9 miles... after that my legs will refuse to listen to my brain. Doesn't help that I've only been running once a week. I'm pleased I was at least able to complete the Soldier Field 10 mile, maybe not at the pace that I could be proud of, but I was able to participate, finish, and have a good time. We ran another 10 miles today... but my calves were burning up, and my ankles and knees were taking a pounding... had to walk the last mile
But I'm determined to do the marathon (and I would like that I start strong and finish strong). Something my military buddy told me: "Pain is weakness trying to leave the body." Guess pain's one of those problem tenants that just don't wanna leave my body.

Wow!! 10 miles huh?!... Talk about dedication here. That's a ton more than I can definitely do, so major props to you for keeping it up.
