210 days from the couch to ultramarathon finisher.  that's pretty cool.  i am so thankful that my body cooperated with those 31 miles.  i would like another shot at it.  i would like to hold back more in those first twenty miles and then finish strong.  i think i have learned some things that will really help me out during the "flying pig marathon" on 05.03.2009.  time to let the body recover.
