12 miles and sore!

We ran our 12 miles with the team yesterday. Running on a Saturday was both nice (I get to relax this morning) and difficult (there is much more traffic in Charleston on Saturdays). It felt okay, but I'm definitely sore and need more conditioning exercises. My other problem is that I had an ear infection and was on antibiotics, which made me a) really thirsty, and b) really sensitive to the sun. So 2 hours running in the sun was just what I needed :)!
I met some cool people running as well. Joe and Charlotte are married and have three kids, and they're about my age. I always find that strange, that people my age are real "adults." I also ran with Colleen, who trains two hours away with her mother and drives down to Charleston for our long runs. Her father recently passed, and she's running the race in his honor.
Speaking of which, I thought I'd research some Leukemia/Lymphoma facts and post them on my blog. Here's something I didn't know: the difference between leukemia and lymphoma:

Well, I have to unpack some stuff now and hope my soreness isn't too debilitating (we just moved into a new house as well). Keep my team in your prayers, and I'll write soon.
