18 Miles is not as hard as it sounds...but you will be sore afterwards.
When you really need to pee, you really need to pee - endurance running is not for the overly modest. Sometimes squatting in the bushes is the best you're gonna get.
Iliotibial (IT) Band pain - it happens. Compression wraps work. (Note to self - buy one before next long run!)
Everything the coaches say about rest, eating and hydration is true.
Some pains can be run through. Some can't. Helps to know which are which.
You really can psych yourself out - in good ways or bad.
Being able to say "I ran 18 miles this morning for charity" feels pretty damned good and makes the soreness worth it.
