Long Run of 6.2 Today

We are going to our Church fundraiser dinner tonight, so I thought I'd better get my long run in today (since I don't know what kind of shape I'll be in tomorrow after a full night of open bar). Hmm. I got off work this morning, and even though I had already been awake for 18 hours, I felt wired. Not sure why since I should have been dog tired. But, I headed to the gym anyhow and ran 6.2 miles. That's a 10k! Holy moly, that's the longest I've ever run, and I did it without stopping. And, the strange part, it felt really good. I felt as if I could have run a LOT more, but can't push this. I've already had two minor injuries, in both my lower and upper right calf, and need to just take it slow and easy. But the run was good today. I felt strong. It's now becoming clear that I really can do this. Really, there's nothing you can't accomplish if you just set your mind to it.
