Whoa.
Yeah, you read that right. Hit two records today: longest run, and most miles in a day.
The morning run was necessary to make up for lost miles. Actually ventured into some previously-uncharted territory (for me) even farther out in the country than I am already--fun stuff.
The evening run should have been grueling. But it wasn't. Just one "break" of about three minutes of walking, the rest was non-stop. Oh, and it also poured rain on me for about a mile and a half. That was so awesome! Especially since it almost seemed to be falling from a clear blue sky. It was beautiful. And refreshing.
Here's a photo of me running today...
What? You don't think that's me? Yeah, probably not. Check this dude's pants. You know that ain't me. Fun pic, though. :)
Let's just hope I can muster the energy to put in a decent showing tomorrow. I actually felt a little extra bounce (pep, even?) tonight, at the end of my evening run. Contemplating running another mile or 2 to get my day over the 20-mile mark, but I figured I'd get a good meal in, and relax--plus, it's something else to shoot for (20 miles in a day, that is). It's attainable, under the right circumstances, for sure!
I have approximately 45 minutes or so left of Coach Carter. I always forget how much I like it until I throw it in. Samuel L. Jackson is great. He's probably #4 (maybe 5) on my favorite actors list (a list I might have to make official in an upcoming blog, eh?)...
After that...Celtic Pride. A hilarious classic. Whether you're a basketball nut like me, or not, if you haven't seen it, shame on you. It's downright hysterical!
D, out.
