An awesome milestone!

Sitting at Starbucks ordering my amtrak ticket home and making a fast post to let everyone know...

I DID 15 MILES!!!!

I can't freaking believe it. It just seriously amazes me. And I did it outside in humid weather I'm not use to at all, so I feel especially bad ass. Haha. Oh, and I did 7 miles with no iPod. Genius Lisa didn't charge her iPod so it crapped out at 8.21 miles. I then used my dad's garmin traking device, talked to myself for a bit, sung to myself, and then eventually dedicated the last 4 miles to different people to keep my going and get through it. I tell ya, that iPod of mine is a godsend.

So yes, my trip home has been great. Did a 7 mile, 4 mile, and 15 mile. Pretty awesome for a person that couldn't walk 7 miles, hell even a few miles, a few months ago. And I'm getting up early in the morning to go buy some new shoes. Because I've worn out my shoes. Haha.

Grandma also took me shopping while I was home. I bought shirts 2 sizes smaller than the shirts I wore in May. The capri pants I wore to my high school graduation party are so big that I can take them off without unbuttoning them. I bought 4 inch heels because I actually don't mind wearing heels because I have such strong leg muscles now.

Life is pretty freaking great :)

Back to Chicago tomorrow, and back to training Tuesday.

ps Oh yeah, my Nike profile also gave me this link when I logged in. I rock hardcore :)
