Farthest Ever

Author: Casey | Posted in: Hobbies

This morning I ran the farthest distance I’ve ever run in my life: 10 miles. For some of you that might not seem very far, but this was a pretty big milestone for me. For the last five months, I’ve been training for a half-marathon that I will be running in March.

I’ve been a casual runner on and off for most of my adult life and I’ve even run in a few 10k races, but for some reason this seems so much more difficult. 13.1 miles is a long way! I’m hoping to be able to finish in under two hours.

Wish me luck as I continue to train over the next few weeks!

    Me too. 10 miles is my farthest EVER. I’m hoping for a 1/2 marathon this year. My problem is that I’ve said that before. Good job, and good luck at the race.

    Good job. Most people have never run that far. You will do great. Wish I could be there to run it with you. I’d rather be at my Grandson’s 1st birthday!

    Awesome! You and Brad should run one together. He just got back from running seven miles. He hasn’t done that in years!! I HATE running!! :) Love you!

    Casey,

    I ran 10 miles once, many years ago! I’m proud of you, you will keep your heart healthy & be around for a long time to raise that little cutie pie of yours!

    Nicely done my friend… nicely done. I have yet to run 10 miles; I will save that milestone for a later date :) Hope all is well. I sure do wish I lived near by. – Later on, Dirk Su

    Nice job Casey! Ten miles is the farthest I have ever run as well. That was by accident too! I got lost on a CC run :) . I’m proud of you.

    Way to go! I rode a unicycle for a mile once…. :)
