9 miles!!

I so dreaded today as I woke up at 5 am and it was still pitch dark outside, knowing that in just an hour, I would be starting my first of 9 miles!!! I was really nervous as I have never run that far before without some sort of break. At 6am, it was still in the 50's, dark, and drizzling out but that didn't stop us!! At mile 8, I realized that I only had one mile to go (I thought I had 3) so I kicked it up and sprinted with glee...I did it!!
