14 days left, LSD 10miles

LSd 10.15miles, 2h40min, 15.3minmile, small hill .

Started at 6 Am, lovely day, breezy, cloudy, little traffic. We went to a part of the area which GB hadnt seen before. Its a gradual uphill for 1-2 miles and from the top most point one can see the valley. Looked more beautiful today because of the early morning sun. Thanks to this running business we have seen the most beautiful parts of our area at the best time of the day.

I felt thruout that we did a lot of effort but the time still came out to be 15minmile. After the gradual incline it was all downhill with some rolling hills inbetween.

Overall good LSD, not very tired at the end, still had enough in us to do another 10 miles.

Came home and DH had been telling a cousin of his about our marathon and the long distances we cover. The response from the other end was'Oh, then she must have lost a lot of weight!!' No , baby, no, no weight loss, nada, zilch, zip. I just thank my stars I didnt gain any- yet!
