Our long runs have now reached the 15-mile mark, which means running through cycles of pain. One of the few advantages of this kind of self-torture comes in the form of justification (self?) for public complaining during the run. This Saturday, this gripe-fest during the last 4 (or so) miles became rather creative. The winner of our "Whine Slam" came in the form of a metaphor. From here on out, our long runs will be described as "puttin' on the pain-skirt."

And I, who can barely run 2 minute spurts, thought that it was supposed to get better over time. - K

It DOES get better. It just takes longer to *hurt*.

Well, you must admit that 16 wasn't an painful as 15. Maybe our bodies are becoming accustomed to the abuse...
