didn't get a chance to start running until after 5pm and i was hoping to do 20 today. unfortunately that didn't quite happen. i went to huntington and my right tendon was tight to begin with but loosened up as usual. i didn't feel that slow but apparently according to the gps was. at 2.2 miles the watch lost sat connection and then found it again who knows when later only to lose it again. nothing more frustrating than not knowing how far you go for your long run. i ended up seeing some wildlife today. i saw a box turtle (i think) 3rd turtle of the year, a fox, and then a HUGE water snake! 8th snake of the year and 4th water snake. i can safely say this thing was massive. easily the largest snake i've seen on the east coast. it must have been 3.5 ft long and was very thick. so gross. luckily it slithered off the bridge i had to cross and i didn't have to throw stuff at it or make a run by it. the watch ended up reading 15.3 after reseting it. so at least 17.5 was recorded. i estimate 18.3 miles and about 3hrs 10 mins. left shin acted up then went away. stomach was unsettled after eating way too much pizza for lunch before the run at bertuccis. at least i don't feel fat now anymore :)

I must say 'wow'! Sometimes on quiet Sunday afternoons, I'll do a little blog stalking...hope you don't mind being my victim :) You were in the 'most recent entries'

Nice run, I really admire you trail runners! I LOVE to hike and run, but don't think I have the coordination to do both at the same time. I twist my ankles just walking, a trail run might be a permanent downfall. However, I must say that I am VERY impressed with your Grand Canyon run!! In 2005 I hiked the GC rim to rim in one day (total of 11 hrs I think) - that is a proud accomplishment for me! But you did that running....then went back for some more - YIKES!!! You are a very strong, determined, dedicated runner. Keep up the inspiring work!
