    OMG thats awesome, its the greatest feeling huh? When I did mine I ran past this guy selling newspapers like 3 times and I'm pretty sure he thought I was crazy haha but I can't believe you did it on the treadmill?! I hate the treadmill, I hope you had a movie to watch or something, CONGRATS, your going to do great!

    I just did a 20 mile group run last Saturday in the rain. As much as we were complaining about the rain I wouldn't have wanted to do it on the treadmill. Enjoy your taper and good luck on your marathon. We are only doing 6 miles Saturday (I love being able to say that) 2 of those miles are going to be on the beach. I am hoping the weather is better than it is today. I am training for the 26.2 with Donna in Feb. Which race are you doing?

    Wow...20 miles on the treadmill! You're a rockstar. That's some serious dedication. Good luck with your taper. If you feel like crap while tapering, don't let it bother you! It's normal to feel sugglish and tired during that period.

    What marathon are you doing? Can't wait to hear about your experience.
