A slight miscalculation...

...leads me to run 13.5 miles, instead of the 12.5 miles I had planned (which was a stretch without the extra mile). Otherwise, a very nice run. Saw some sheep, and the sunrise, and 2 deer. I made it, so I know now that I can run a half marathon! Unfortunately, the extra bit I planned on (going from 10 to 12.5 miles) was much hillier than I planned (or liked), and my knees are pretty sore right now. Knee soreness is new for me with running, so I need to make sure I take it easy for a while so I don't injure myself!

Impressive! Pre sunrise 13 miles? I may have still been out when you left for your run...

Doing quad strengthening exercises helps sore knees a lot- know that one from experience.
