Week 15!

I had repeated Week 1 of this running schedule, twice, because I had gotten sick.  And this last week I've repeated as well, because I seem to have developed some "extendor tendonitis" or something like it, on top of my foot.  So after resting it last weekend, I restarted this week and just did my long run- 11miles!
I had been hoping to try it outside, with Mark, but it was snowing here, AGAIN, this morning, and I didn't feel like slipping all over the place. 
I thought the clock on the machine was acting wonky, after 10miles, so I grabbed my phone and recorded the treadmill clocks to show Mark after.
And then- when I was at 10.56miles, the treadmill came to a halt!  I yelled, "NOOOOOOOO!" The machine was displaying my distance, but the clock reset to zero!! UGH!
I hollered for Mark and I ended up just having to do my last half mile (I was mad so I did it at a 7.30mm pace), and then when I came upstairs, Mark watched my videos and helped me solve the mystery. The machine can't time anything over 99.59minutes!
So, we took both of my distances with the times, and added them up.  
Anyway, even despite the treadmill drama, 11 miles are done! Yay! Also, my hurt foot does not feel terrible! Double yay!
