I ran 20 miles for the first time on Saturday.
Today I'm still on a high from it. How much longer can this go on?
I love the feeling!

I think the feeling lasts until you realize you have to go farther the next time out

Both of the above comments are true.  The high goes away when you find that there are another 6.2 miles to complete a marathon, but no one, I mean No One can take away the fact that you ran 20 miles!!!!!

Congrats!  great accomplishment!

Totally agree with Cavu9's point.

You've got another 6.2 miles to go...BUT how many people do you know personally that've run 20 miles? Be proud of that.

Isn't it great that accomplishments by working out actually stick with you every day because your body feels so darn strong!

I have more inspirational thoughts, but my daughter (who sometimes wears a nut cup) just pooped on the the front deck..... I think I'll pretend I didn't know so my husband can clean it up when he gets home.....

Great job on the 20. I remember my first 20 mile run last summer. Actually I got lost on the course and ran 21.5, but I had this huge high and I couldn't wait to tell everyone and see the expressions on their face. Awesome accomplishment!!! Way to go and keep up the great work!!!
