Day 40: PA & WI

A beautiful day, wasted by a run : ) 

Our long run of the week loomed over me...it was 10 miles this Saturday, and I would have to do it alone.  I was very afraid that, 1) I did not have the willpower/motivation to start the run by myself, and 2) when (not if) I injured myself running this ridiculous number of miles, I'd be all alone, dying in the freezing climate of this God-forsaken state of Wisconsin...

Ok, a little dramatic, but so were my thoughts about this run.  I was visiting my friend, Leasha (one of the blog followers!) and try as I might, I could not get her to run the 10 miles with me.  So against my AND her better judgment, I set off early Saturday morning, alone... She promised to be there when I returned.  I could give no such promises.

Nice and flat, just how I like it!

While I ran this long run on the flat and slightly snow-covered streets of Wisconsin, Ben and Athena had there own Pennsylvanian adventure... 

Hey everyone!!  Athena here :)  Well, while Kendra was off doing her own little run in a far away land, Ben & I met up for our 10 miler.  We did this nice little route through York City that my dad mapped out (ya know, so we wouldn't have to run up many hills... ugh!) and it ended up being 9.7 miles.  Check out our directions (yes, we carried DIRECTIONS for our run!) in the picture, as well as our post-run video below if you want more details!
