Emily, a friend of ours and Jessica’s running partner just finished the year with 4,015 running miles. Go Emily! She totally rocks. That is an average of eleven miles a day every day. Some days were shorter mileage days and others were way longer. She recently had a 160 mile week. That is a hair over 22 miles a day for seven days. Like I said, she rocks. I just read on her blog that she had a couple of 130 mile weeks as well. The girl has determination. She just does it. One foot in front of the other and doesn’t stop. Today she ran 30 miles, and we were there to see her finish and offer our support. In honor of her running 4,000 miles Cody made her a cake. When Emily finished her run we all stood around our vehicles and ate cake. Okay, after running 30 miles Emily wasn’t in the mood for food yet so the rest of us ate cake. The cake that Cody made was three layers with Butterfingers and peanut butter mixed in. Hey, carbs and protein, just what you need after a run. Anyway, it was such a big cake that even though I tried to cut the cake in small pieces they were still huge slices. Joel, Emily and Jessica’s coach, couldn’t eat all of his and gave it to his dad to finish, which he did. Then after eating his and Joel’s pieces of cake he finished off Noah’s, Ryan’s and mine. And, like I said, they were big pieces. I don’t know where that man puts it all because he is really thin. Emily got to take the rest of the cake home with her. That is if Jim didn’t get to it first.
