(At exactly mile 9, in the middle of telling some story, I hit a root and went down... hard. I fell on my hand and flat on my chest- my clothes were dirty, my hand started to bleed a bit. After washing my hand off and laughing it off, we kept on going...)

Mile 11: 10:04
Mile 12: 9:46
Mile 13: 9:24
Mile 14: 9:37
Mile 15: 9:47
Mile 16: 10:09
Mile 17: 9:46
(This is about where fall #2 happened. I tripped over pretty much nothing. We were running downhill on sidewalk and I think my feet just didn't feel like picking up anymore... so down I went. I got discouraged after this fall, another fall on my hand and knee. But after a few minutes and some sports jelly beans, i toughed it up and kept running)
Mile 18: 9:30
Mile 19: 9:31
So we were pretty consistent... it looks like I struggled the most at mile 11 and mile 16. When I fell the second time, I started to think that maybe I can't complete a marathon and I started to get upset with myself. But then I thought about things when I got home. I ran 19 miles. 7 more and were at a marathon. A little over 1 more hour. I can do this. And I still have 7 weeks of training!
After cleaning and resting, we had a BBQ with some friends. Natalia (my brothers wife) and I made Home-made Turkey Burgers, Ditalini Pasta Salad, Corn on the Cob and Chicken Sausage.
We made the burgers with sauteed onions and argula, oregano, italian spices, salt and pepper, Worcestorshire sauce, 1 egg and homemade breadcrumbs. I love the food processor. Just throw some bread and whirl away! Natalia was my amazing sous chef due to the fact that I cut I up my hand. She dug in there and made the patties! And then Dave was the grill master and added the cheese.
