Just a Training Update

So on Sunday I ran the longest I have ever run. It was a beautiful sunny day and I was with two of my best friends, my bro Seth and good friend Brett. We prayed for strength before the run and for protection over our bodies. Seth has not run since November because of a bad ankle and Brett has developed some significant knee pain and I am just fat, so you never know when something is going to break on me. Well our prayers were answered and we completed our long run. We were supposed to run 14 miles so we decided to run the second half of the Pittsburgh marathon course. It was good to see where we would be running come race day. We did however take a little detour that tacked on a little over an extra mile on to our long run, so needless to say we wear a little sore. Before Sunday our longest run was 12 miles, and we were jumping up to 14 but we accidentally ran over 15. The good news is we burnt over 2,000 calories and we all feel pretty good, our bodies are holding up. It was a good day.

So as of right now team Silas has three runners.

Me
Brett
Seth
