so yesterday... gwyn, holly, amanda, and i set out to do 9 miles. we met at 6am and each had our own apprehensions. we tried our best to mentally and physically prepare. we mapped out the route etc. i am so proud of us, because we did it! by the end we were all feeling totally great.gwyn and i pretty much pace the same so we usually end up sticking together... so it was she that got to witness my near death (lol) experience.

i know i didn't do as good as i "could" have because there were moments of snacking where i was very aware that i wasn't even hungry but just eating because i could... not beca...
