Broken Arm?!?!

I think I may have broken my arm this morning while patting myself on the back after my run. LOL!

18.4 miles today. The weather was perfect, I got a good night's sleep, and felt great when I left the house. It was the perfect storm of running and it culminated with my longest distance run ever. I'm super excited!

I'd like to give a big shout out to the guy down on campus who high-fived me at about my eighth mile (right behind the OSU horseshoe) and told me to keep going. I was feeling really good at that point already and that little push made me decide to go another mile before I turned around and headed home. So anonymous high-five guy, thanks for your exuberance.

I didn't take a sip of water until mile nine and didn't walk at all until mile after completing 12 miles. Miles 17 and 18 were difficult and I honestly only ran about 1.25 of those miles.

Finished up when I got home with a peanut butter and banana wrap, 2 glasses of water, and 2 bottles of Sam Adams Boston Lager. I earned them.
