18.2 miles !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm v chuffed, I managed to run 18.2 miles today! I set off with a bunch of harriers who did a 8 mile loop around this lovely reservoir (Gladhouse) and then headed home on my own. I looped round Roseberry reservoir and then across to Penicuik. It was a fantastic run for many reasons. The lambs were gorgeous, the curlews and peewits were calling and displaying, and despite ending in the rain was ok weather for April. I saw a lamb that had just been born - the ewe was licking up the sack and the lamb was tiny! I had a buzzard take off from a fence next to me. I saw very cute calves. I ran through bits where I hated it and couldn't believe I could ever do 26.2 miles, and then ran bits where I totally felt I could, and then felt like I couldn't run another mile and then ran another 4. So glad I've experienced that so I know on the day this is normal.
As I came back up the steps I was met by C who was v proud of my accomplishment.
A, C n D headed off to Marshall for the Penicuik cricket club 5&10k. I managed to hobble along to cheer on friends who were running.
Then I spent my Easter Sunday at sick kids a&e with C. His knee was still swollen and bruised so decided it would be wise to just get it x-rayed before p6 camp next week. Luckily no one else chooses to spend Easter Sunday at a&e so we were in and out within the hour. Glad his knee injury is soft tissue and just needs rest. P6 camp will be interesting!
