20 miles on skis

20.13 miles. 4:15:55.

Longest ski ever! Second longest workout ever! (Longest was 16 seconds longer - Chicago Marathon '09.)

I was solo and (relatively) speedy for this 20-miler at Lapham Peak. Glee/Michael Buble/Across the Universe Pandora station kept me motivated to do two black loops including the Stairway to Heaven (which doubles back on 1/3 of the course, making it almost exactly 10 miles).

It was tiring. It was brutal at times. But when my body wanted to give up, my mind took over and pushed me through to finish strong.

Celebrated with a fish fry and two beers at Red Mill with P and friend Luke. :)
