My farthest run yet!

Little back story: I started running about two years ago but really amped it up about 9 months ago and so far my longest run has been 7.5 miles, which I do 2x a week, with various 4.5mi runs the rest of the week. Well, I have been staying at my parents' house this week because my husband is out of town and they live near a University so I decided I would get up early and go run there considering I knew I would be indulging a little more than my normal "diet"(last time I stayed with them I ate quite a bit and didn't exercise at all!) Two days this week when I ran it worked out to being just over 6 miles from my car, around the campus twice and back to my car. Last night I decided I would try for 3 times around to see if I could do it and I did. It felt great and I was so proud of myself for pushing through, considering when the alarm went off this morning I almost talked myself out of going AT ALL. Hopefully the exercise I did was enough to counteract all the treats and good meals I had :)
