we are not finnished with week 12. But I am ALMOST there. so I thought I would send you a message in a bottle that lets you know how I am doing.

I ran my longest so far last saturday.w hich sent my knees into a fit of pain… my heals thought they were going to revolt and NEVER let me walk again than I got a nights sleep and a monday in the pool. 2,700 yards latter. I was feeling like a million bucks. untill… YUP YOU GUESSED IT… I got out of the pool and gravity put me on my heals again. OH BOY. so on Tuesday I ran through it… and it started to get better…. than I swam for 2400 after my 4 miles. than on Wednsday 8 miles and 1000 yards. than comes Thursday… Today… 4 m ore mile on the ol feet. and 2400 in the pool. I tell you without the pool for my feet after a run I think I would cry the rest of the day. a nap and even though my feet are sore…. I AM ALMOST THERE!!!!

Womens run on sat… 2X’s through for me… but it will be a great 12 mile run. I am looking forward to it. people on the trail. WAHOO!!!!
