9!

Did 9 miles yesterday.  Took me exactly 1:30 (and a few seconds but who's counting?).  I think I have a LOT of work to do before October and this race, but at least I hit my mark.  I don't think I'll go past 9 miles until after the tri b/c it took a lot out of me and I think when I finally get my distance up I want to JUST focus on running for a month or so.  We'll see how it goes.  But I did it in my hilly neighborhood and by mile 7.9 I felt like my thighs were on fire!  My muscles definitely need some strength training!
