My sister ended up being ok.  I got my run in Saturday afternoon.  I did a point-to-point run instead of a loop.  It was a gradual gain in elevation which my legs more than my eyes could bear testimony to.  I also didn't find water along my route until the 16 mile mark.  That just about killed me.  It was the most painful run of this training cycle.  It was good for me mentally to have pushed through to the end, but, wow...next time I'll be a better girl scout and get myself prepared.

No calories and only one water stop? Wow. Intense. Glad your sis is okay!

Yeah - almost every time I talk to Dan (and that's twice a day) he tells me to go and drink some water. One might think he is being a little overbearing about the whole water issue. Not so. I just really, really have a problem with undervaluing water despite many a thirsty run/hike - including a time where I seriously considered drinking muddy water in a broken water bottle I saw next to a trail and chugging the juice from a pork n' beans can on top of a peak.
